The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the effects of prenatal childbirth education among partners of pregnant women, particularly regarding paternal postnatal mental health and couple relationship.Methods: We searched Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, ERIC, and CENTRAL using terms such as "partners of pregnant women," "education," and "prenatal support." Searches were limited to randomized trials.Results: We included 11 trials out of 13 reports that addressed the following topics: childbirth preparation, couple relationship, infants and parenting, postpartum psychosocial issues, and housework sharing. Overall risk of bias was low or unclear. Study outcomes, including parents' mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression, distress), couple relationship, parents' transition adjustment and parenting stress, and parents' satisfaction with their experience of childbirth and prenatal childbirth education programs were reported.Limitations: The studies included in this review were very diverse regarding intervention intensity and content, outcome types, measurement tools, and outcome timing. This impeded evaluation of the interventions' effectiveness.Conclusion: No sufficient evidence was identified that prenatal childbirth education for partners of pregnant women protects against paternal postnatal depression and couple relationship; however, paternal postnatal mental health is important to maternal and perinatal healthcare. The results of this review suggest that further research and intervention are required to provide partners of pregnant women with evidence-based information and support whole families during the perinatal period.

Furthermore, properly trained professionals have only rarely examined the fidelity of these interventions. Purpose: This report examines whether experienced community interventionists (home visitors, health educators, fatherhood service personnel) with no formal couples' therapy training are capable of pairing together to deliver with adequate fidelity a manualized dyadic intervention designed for expectant unmarried mothers and fathers. Methods: Three male and four female mentors (home visitors, health educators, fatherhood personnel) working in paired male- female co-mentor teams delivered a seven-session "Figuring It Out for the Child" curriculum (six prenatal sessions, one booster) to 14 multirisk, unmarried African American families (parentage ranging from 14 to 40). Parental well-being and views of fatherhood were assessed before the intervention and again 3 months after the baby's birth. Quality assurance analysts evaluated mentor fidelity (adherence to the curriculum, competence in engaging couples with specified curricular content) through a review of the transcripts and audiotapes from the sessions. Mentors also rated their own adherence. Results: Although the mentors overestimated adherence, quality assurance analyst ratings found acceptable levels of adherence and competence, with no significant male-female differences in fidelity. Adherence and competence were marginally higher in sessions that required fewer direct couples' interventions. Parents reported satisfaction with the interventions and showed statistically significant improvement in the family dimensions of interest at 3-4 months posttreatment. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Findings support the wisdom of engaging men both as interventionists and as recipients of prenatal coparenting interventions--even in families where the parents are uncoupled and non-co-residential.

The findings are categorised under four key themes: outnumbered, excluded, anxious and uncertain, and preparedness. While research suggests that most fathers want to support their partners and be involved in the pregnancy, labour and birth of their baby, they are less likely to attend antenatal classes than women. While fathers who attend antenatal education classes value them, their experiences are not always as positive or helpful in preparing them for their role as birth partners or in parenthood. It was highlighted that men are more likely to feel unprepared when complications at birth arise. A common finding was that men would welcome the opportunity to focus on their individual needs.

Twenty families took part in the six-session 'Figuring It Out for the Child' ( FIOC) dyadic intervention offered in a faith-based human services agency during the third trimester of the mother's pregnancy, and completed a postpartum booster session 1 month after the baby's arrival. Parent referrals for the FIOC program were received from a county Health Department and from OBGYNs and Pregnancy Centers in the targeted community. All intervention sessions were delivered by a trained male-female paraprofessional team whose fidelity to the FIOC manualized curriculum was independently evaluated by a team of trained analysts. At both the point of intake (' PRE') and again at an exit evaluation completed 3 months postpartum (' POST'), the mothers and fathers were videotaped as they completed two standardized 'revealed differences' conflict discussions. Blinded videotapes of these sessions were evaluated using the System for Coding Interactions in Dyads. Analyses documented statistically significant improvements on 8 of 12 variables examined, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large . Overall, 14 families demonstrated beneficial outcomes, 3 did not improve, and 3 showed some signs of decline from the point of intake. For most interaction processes, PRE to POST improvements were unrelated to degree of adherence the paraprofessional interventionists showed to the curriculum. However, better interventionist competence was related to decreases in partners' Coerciveness and Negativity and Conflict, and to smaller increases in partner Withdrawal. Implications of the work for development and delivery of community-based coparenting interventions for unmarried parents are discussed. AB - En este informe se examinan los efectos de una intervención en la co-crianza diseñada para madres y padres afroamericanos que estaban esperando un/a hijo/a y no estaban casados en relación con la dinámica de interacción observada, conocida por predecir la adaptación en la relación. Veinte familias participaron en una intervención diádica de seis sesiones llamada 'Descubrir la solución por el niño' ( Figuring It Out for the Child, FIOC) ofrecida en una organización religiosa de servicios humanos durante el tercer trimestre de embarazo de la madre, y realizaron una sesión adicional después del parto un mes después del nacimiento del bebé. Las derivaciones de los padres al programa FIOC se recibieron del Departamento de Salud de un condado y de los centros obstétricos, ginecológicos y materno-infantiles de la comunidad en cuestión. Todas las sesiones de la intervención fueron impartidas por un equipo paraprofesional capacitado de hombres y mujeres cuya fidelidad al currículo estandarizado del FIOC fue evaluada independientemente por un equipo de analistas capacitados. En una evaluación realizada tanto en el momento de la admisión como nuevamente en el del egreso 3 meses después del parto, se videograbó a las madres y los padres mientras tenían dos conversaciones conflictivas estandarizadas donde se revelaban diferencias. Las videograbaciones ciegas de estas sesiones se evaluaron utilizando el 'Sistema para la Codificación de Interacciones en Díadas' ( System for Coding Interactions in Dyads). Los análisis documentaron mejoras estadísticamente significativas en 8 de 12 variables analizadas, con tamaños del efecto que variaron desde moderados a grandes. En general, 14 familias demostraron resultados beneficiosos, 3 no mejoraron y 3 demostraron algunos signos de empeoramiento desde el momento de la admisión. En la mayoría de los procesos de interacción, las mejoras realizadas desde el momento de la admisión hasta el del egreso no estuvieron relacionadas con el grado de fidelidad al currículo que demostraron los intervencionistas paraprofesionales. Sin embargo, una mejor competencia intervencionista estuvo relacionada con disminuciones en la coercitividad, la negatividad y el conflicto de las parejas, y con menores aumentos en la indiferencia de los integrantes de la pareja. Se debaten las implicancias de este trabajo para el desarrollo y el ofrecimiento de intervenciones comunitarias en la co-crianza para padres que no están casados.

However, it still remains unclear what practical use women make of mindfulness during the postpartum period and the mechanisms through which it works. The subjective experience of mindfulness practice by mothers is not fully understood. The aim of the present study was to explore how women enrolled in a "Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting programme" experienced mindfulness practice during the postpartum period.Methods: Ten pregnant women over 18 years of age with singleton pregnancies, no diagnoses of mental illness and participation in a "Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting programme" were recruited to take part in a postpartum interview. Audio recordings of the interviews were transcribed and analysed thematically based on a phenomenological approach. The transcripts of nine interviews were submitted to a coding process consisting of the identification of words, sentences or paragraphs expressing common ideas. These ideas were classified in codes, each code representing a specific description, function or action (e.g. self-perception, personal organization, formal/informal meditation practice). Progressively, a framework of thematic ideas was extracted from the transcripts, allowing the interviews to be systematically organized and their content analysed in depth.Results: Five themes emerged from the descriptions of practices of mindfulness during the postpartum period: perception of the present moment, breathing, acceptance, self-compassion and the perception of mindfulness as a shelter.Conclusion: Mindfulness practices during the postpartum period may contribute to a mother's psychological wellbeing. The perception of mindfulness as a shelter had not previously been reported. Future research could address whether this role is specific to the postpartum period.

Despite the availability of different options (birth centre, home and hospital) and substantial evidence highlighting the benefits of birth outside a hospital setting, the majority of women choose to give birth in a hospital. Aims This study aimed to: explore how low-risk, first-time mothers chose where to give birth to their babies; and gain an in-depth understanding of what factors influenced women’s experiences of decision-making. Methods A qualitative study with a narrative approach was used. Data were collected using an online questionnaire. Participants were recruited from a social networking site. A purposive sample of nine low-risk, first-time mothers, all of whom were given a choice of birthplace (at least two options), was used. Findings Two core themes emerged that were considered to influence women’s decisions on birthplace: women’s expectations of birth, perception of safety and protecting the birthing process; and the influence of the midwife, antenatal education and the partner. Conclusion The study reveals that women make choices based on a variety of reasons. However, the findings presented suggest that most women give birth in a hospital as it is still widely considered to be the safest place for women and babies—both by couples themselves and by many health professionals. The challenge is to address this generation of women who believe that hospital is the most appropriate place to give birth, despite evidence to the contrary, and ultimately promote the normality of pregnancy and childbirth.

AB - Background: Infants of obese women are at a high risk for development of obesity. Prenatal interventions targeting gestational weight gain among obese women have not demonstrated consistent benefits for infant growth trajectories. Methods: To better understand why such programs may not influence infant growth, qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 mothers who participated in a prenatal nutrition intervention for women with BMI 30 kg/m2 or greater, and with 19 clinicians (13 pediatric, 6 obstetrical). Interviews were transcribed and coded with themes emerging inductively from the data, using a grounded theory approach. Results: Mothers were interviewed a mean of 18 months postpartum and reported successful postnatal maintenance of behaviors that were relevant to the family food environment (Theme 1). Ambivalence around the importance of postnatal behavior maintenance (Theme 2) and enhanced postnatal healthcare (Theme 3) emerged as explanations for the failure of prenatal interventions to influence child growth. Mothers acknowledged their importance as role models for their children's behavior, but they often believed that body habitus was beyond their control. Though mothers attributed prenatal behavior change, in part, to additional support during pregnancy, clinicians had hesitations about providing children of obese parents with additional services postnatally. Both mothers and clinicians perceived a lack of interest or concern about infant growth during pediatric visits (Theme 4). Conclusions: Prenatal interventions may better influence childhood growth if paired with improved communication regarding long-term modifiable risks for children. The healthcare community should clarify a package of enhanced preventive services for children with increased risk of developing obesity.

AB - Purpose: Protein-restricted diet during pregnancy is related to oxidative stress and, as a consequence, damage to nephrogenesis. We investigated the effects of vinifera grape skin extract (ACH09)-derived polyphenols on preserving renal morphology of maternal protein-restricted 1-day-old offspring. Methods: Female C57/Bl-6 mice were fed two different isocaloric diets: control diet (19.3 % protein) and low-protein diet (6 % protein) with access to water or to the extract dissolved in drinking water (19.3 % protein plus ACH09 200 mg kg day and 6 % protein plus ACH09 200 mg kg day) throughout gestation. Renal morphology-glomerular number N[glom]; renal maturity-vascular glomeruli and avascular glomeruli ratio (v-N[glom]/a-N[glom]); medullar and cortical volumes, as well as mean glomerular volume, were analyzed in male offspring. Hepatic superoxide dismutase and catalase (CAT) activities were evaluated, and renal lipid peroxidation levels were measured. Results: Maternal protein restriction affected birth weight and naso-anal length in low-protein offspring compared to control and ACH09 restored both parameters. Protein restriction increased lipid peroxidation in kidney and liver and reduced CAT activity in low-protein group compared to control. Supplementation with ACH09 reduced the kidney oxidative damage and restored the antioxidant activity of CAT. ACH09 prevented glomerular loss and renal immaturity in the offspring. Conclusion: The treatment of low-protein-fed dams during pregnancy with ACH09 provides protection from early-life deleterious renal morphological changes. The protective effect of ACH09 may involve antioxidant action and vasodilator effect of the extract.

A healthy baby and satisfied parents are the ultimate outcome of the birth experience. Parents who are satisfied with care communicate the experience with others and likely return to the facility for additional services. Ensuring parent satisfaction is an ongoing task. Satisfaction begins with education and expectations encouraged at the prenatal hospital visit. Childbirth educators contribute to a couple's birth experience by working with hospital regarding setting of expectations and how to incorporate aspects of communication, clinical alarm awareness, and pain management strategies during the prenatal hospital visit.

Prolonged anxiety is associated with preterm birth and low birth weight. A number of alternative treatments may help decrease anxiety, including an adequate diet, meditation, exercise, and childbirth education. Education of both parents may increase partner support and aid in their communication.

AB - Objective: to gain insight into the experiences of women, partners and midwives who participated in the Complementary Therapies for Labour and Birth Study, an evidence based complementary medicine (CM) antenatal education course. Design: qualitative in-depth interviews and a focus group as part of the Complementary Therapies for Labour and Birth Study. Setting and participants: thirteen low risk primiparous women and seven partners who had participated in the study group of a randomised controlled trial of the complementary therapies for labour and birth study, and 12 midwives caring for these women. The trial was conducted at two public hospitals, and through the Western Sydney University in Sydney, Australia. Interventions: the Complementary Therapies for Labour and Birth (CTLB) protocol, based on the She Births s course and the Acupressure for labour and birth protocol, incorporated six evidence-based complementary medicine (CM) techniques; acupressure, relaxation, visualisation, breathing, massage, yoga techniques and incorporated facilitated partner support. Randomisation to the trial occurred at 24-36 weeks' gestation, and participants attended a two-day antenatal education programme, plus standard care, or standard care alone. Findings: the overarching theme identified in the qualitative data was making sense of labour and birth. Women used information about normal birth physiology from the course to make sense of labour, and to utilise the CM techniques to support normal birth and reduce interventions in labour. Women's, partners' and midwives' experience of the course and its use during birth gave rise to supporting themes such as: working for normal; having a toolkit; and finding what works. Key conclusions: the Complementary Therapies for Labour and Birth Study provided women and their partners with knowledge to understand the physiology of normal labour and birth and enabled them to use evidence-based CM tools to support birth and reduce interventions. Implications for practice: the Complementary Therapies for Labour and Birth Study introduces concepts of what constitutes normal birth and provides skills to support women, partners and midwives. It appears to be an effective form of antenatal education that supports normal birth, and maternity services need to consider how they can reform current antenatal education in line with this evidence.

AB - This quasi-experimental study compared family formation and perceived partner support among pregnant adolescents in a prenatal care program. Participants were assigned to either an intervention group utilizing centering pregnancy (CP) prenatal care and case management, or to a comparison group receiving case management only. Partners were invited to participate in CP group sessions. This study included 173 predominantly minority pregnant adolescents ages 15-18 years who were enrolled in a prenatal program and followed one month postpartum. Family formation included living and relationship arrangements. Perceived partner support included six domains of perceived social provisions. Data were collected through participants' self-reports using computer-assisted self-interviews. Changes in family formation and perceptions of partner support from baseline to postpartum did not differ between intervention and comparison groups. Male partners who attended at least one CP session were perceived as more supportive at both the beginning and end of the program than partners who did not attend any sessions. After combining groups, pregnant adolescents reported a significant shift in family formation and increased monetary support from partners from baseline to postpartum. Partner support is important for ensuring positive pregnancy outcomes. Additional strategies are needed to engage young fathers who do not readily provide support during pregnancy.

The incidence of anaemia during pregnancy is still high (>40 %) in Nigeria, and attitudes and management practices are yet unclear as the peoples' understanding of the phenomenon remains unclear. This study explored the perceptions/attitudes on anaemia during pregnancy and practices to prevent and/or manage it in Anambra State.Methods: In-depth interview and focus group discussion data were collected from health workers and mothers who delivered within 6 months preceding the study and from mothers and husbands of women who delivered within 6 months preceding the study, respectively.Results: The people expressed some knowledge of anaemia, being common in pregnancies. However, some expressed the view that anaemia being a typical sign of pregnancy cannot be prevented. Some mothers expressed desire for focused antenatal care services to control anaemia but lamented the attitude of the health workers, who make access to these interventions difficult.Conclusions: Control of anaemia in pregnancy should start with providing health education to pregnant women and their partners, who reinforce what the women are told during antenatal care, and with training health workers for friendlier attitudes to clients.

Method: an exploratory study was conducted by means of analysis of retrospective data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) and the National Live Birth Information System (SINASC) in Aracaju, state of Sergipe, between 2008 and 2012. Data were analyzed in the statistical software SPSS 17.0. Pearson's chisquared test (χ²) was used and odd ratios were estimated through logistical regression. Data were presented in tables and a diagram and then compared with literature. Results: 318 cases of congenital syphilis were reported, with a high number of cases in children whose mothers had more than eight years of education (n=186). In most cases, sexual partners were not treated simultaneously with the pregnant women, who tended to have less than eight years of education. Conclusion: a high number of cases of congenital syphilis was reported in the period under study, with an association with less than eight years of maternal education, lower number of prenatal consultations and treatment of partners.

The present study aimed to determine the effect of sex education on the marital relationship quality of pregnant women. Methods & Materials: This study is a quasi-experimental. In this study, 100 pregnant women referred to health centers in Zahedan in 2015, were selected and assigned into two groups of intervention and control (50 in each group). Data collection tool was the perceived marital relationship quality components questionnaire. Questionnaires were completed by the both groups before and six weeks after the sex education sessions. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS software version 20. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05) in terms of age, the duration of marriage, gestational age and gravidity. In post-test measurement, the mean of the total score of marital relationship quality and components such as satisfaction, sexual excitement, love, commitment, intimacy, and trust, were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group. Analysis of covariance also showed that the total score mean for the marital relationship and its components had significant difference in the pregnant women in two groups, after sex education (P<0.001). Conclusion: Given the effectiveness of sex education in the improvement of marital relationship quality in pregnant women, this educational intervention is recommended to be integrated into the education program and prenatal care of pregnant women in order to improve the couple’s relationship quality in pregnancy.

AB - This study explored women’s experiences of being screened for intimate partner violence and receiving an intervention during perinatal home visits in urban and rural settings in the USA. Twenty-six women were recruited from the DOVE (Domestic Violence Enhanced Home Visit) intervention trial to participate in a nested qualitative interpretive study. Women valued the opportunity to discuss their intimate partner violence experiences and access support. Disclosure was a staged process and home visitor communication style and the development of a trusting relationship were influencing factors. Safety planning was an important feature of the DOVE intervention, whether the abuse was past or ongoing. Women highlighted the need for post-abuse support services. Perinatal home visitors require training in intimate partner violence that supports the development of good communication skills and provides opportunities for experiential learning and feedback with regards to asking about and responding to intimate partner violence. Reinforcement training activities are necessary in order to enhance home visitor’s confidence and comfort, and sustain practice. Rigorous protocols are needed to ensure the safety of home visitors and women.

AB - Objective: partner presence in the labour room can influence childbirth pain outcomes and maternal wellbeing. We examined midwives' perception of the use of partner presence in the management of childbirth pain in Nigerian hospitals. Design: a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study. Setting: maternity units of four hospitals in Abuja, Nigeria, Jun.-Dec., 2014. Participants: 100 midwives selected through convenience sampling. Measurements: data collected using the Abuja Instrument for Midwives (AIM) questionnaire underwent frequency, correlation, and content analysis. Findings: most midwives felt partner presence contributed to pain relief and were willing to allow partner presence as an intervention for childbirth pain. However, only every fourth midwife reported using partner presence as a pain management intervention. Key Conclusion: partner presence is perceived as contributing to pain relief and is a non-pharmacological technique reported to be utilised by midwives for pain management during childbirth. However, Nigeria suffers from poor utilisation of partner presence as a pain management intervention during childbirth. Implication for practice: information from this study can improve midwifery practice and aid further research regarding midwives' attitudes, knowledge and usage of partner presence in pain management during childbirth.

AB - Uptake of HIV testing and antiretroviral therapy (ART) services during antenatal care (ANC) in rural Mozambique is disappointing. To nurture supportive male engagement in ANC services, we partnered with traditional birth attendants and trained a new type of male-to-male community health agent, 'Male Champions', who focused on counseling male partners to create new, male-friendly community norms around engagement in spousal/partner pregnancies. We assessed ANC service uptake using a pre-post intervention design. The intervention was associated with increases in: (1) uptake of provider-initiated counseling and testing among pregnant woman (81 vs. 92 %; p < 0.001); (2) male engagement in ANC (5 vs. 34 %; p < 0.001); and (3) uptake of ART (8 vs. 19 %; p < 0.001). When men accepted HIV testing, rates of testing rose markedly among pregnant women. With the challenges in scale-up of Option B+ in sub-Saharan Africa, similar interventions may increase testing and treatment acceptability during pregnancy.

AB - Objective: to examine the effects of antenatal education on fear of childbirth, maternal self-efficacy, and maternal and paternal attachment. Design: quasi-experimental study, comparing an antenatal education group and a control group. Participants: 63 pregnant women and their husbands. Measurements: demographic data forms, the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire, the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory, the Maternal Attachment Inventory and the Postnatal Paternal-Infant Attachment Questionnaire were used for data collection. Findings: antenatal education was found to reduce the fear of childbirth and to increase childbirth-related maternal self-efficacy. However, antenatal education was found to have no effect on parental attachment. Key conclusions: it is recommended that widespread antenatal education programmes should be provided in developing countries, and the content of the education programme about parental attachment should be increased. Implications for practice: this study found that antenatal education has no influence on maternal and paternal attachment. As such, there is a need to increase the content of the education programme about parental attachment.

AB - The aims of the study were to describe course of depression in both mothers and fathers from the third trimester of pregnancy through 6 months postpartum and to examine the relationship between maternal and paternal depression. Hypotheses were as follows: (a) Depressive symptoms would be correlated between parents and (b) earlier depressive symptoms in one parent would predict later increases in depression in the other. Eighty cohabitating primiparous couples were recruited from prenatal OBGYN visits and community agencies and enrolled during pregnancy, between 28-week gestation and delivery. Participants completed measures of depression on four occasions: baseline and 1, 3, and 6 months postpartum. Ninety-eight percent of the enrolled couples (78; 156 individuals) completed the study. For both mothers and fathers, symptom severity ratings and classification as a probable case were stable across time, with prenatal depression persisting through 6 months in 75 % of mothers and 86 % of fathers. Prenatal depression in fathers predicted worsening depressive symptom severity in mothers across the first six postpartum months but not vice versa. In both expecting/new mothers and fathers, depression demonstrates a stable pattern of occurrence and symptom severity between 28-month gestation and 6 months postpartum. Although prenatal maternal depression is not predictive of symptom change in fathers, mothers with prenatally depressed partners showed significant worsening in overall symptom severity during the first six postpartum months.

AB - Fathers now provide more care for their babies and children than they have in the past, and a large body of evidence supports the important role that father involvement plays in determining child and family outcomes. Fathers have also become the primary source of informal support for most mothers and it is now customary for fathers to attend antenatal education in this supporting role. However, many fathers remain unprepared for their personal transition to parenthood and this has important implications for all of the family. Antenatal education is likely to be more effective for fathers when it addresses fathers' needs but the literature is unclear about what fathers need to know. This paper presents evidence-based recommendations for core subject matter to be addressed when preparing men for the important challenges of new fatherhood.

AB - Due to the harmful effects of prenatal and postnatal anxiety and depression on fathers, the aim of this study was to determine the impact of lifestyle-based training on paternal depression and anxiety (primary outcomes) during the prenatal and postnatal periods. This single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 126 spouses of pregnant women with gestational ages of 24-28 weeks. They were followed up until 6 weeks after childbirth. Using the block randomization method and stratified based on the number of children, the eligible samples were divided into two groups (one receiving two weekly group lifestyle-based training session (lasting 60-90 min) and a control group). Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were filled out by the participants before the intervention, 8 weeks after it, and 6 weeks after childbirth. The general linear model was used to analyze data. Out of 126 fathers, one individual from the intervention group left the study because he was not willing to cooperate. Compared with the control group, there was a significant decrease in depression (adjusted difference: −1.6; 95% CI −2.8 to −0.5), state anxiety (−5.7; −8.6 to −2.9) and trait anxiety (−5.0; −7.8 to −2.2) scores at 8 weeks after intervention as well as postnatal depression (−3.3; −5.0 to −1.5); postnatal state anxiety (−7.5; −11.6 to −3.4), and postnatal trait anxiety (−8.3; −12.2 to −4.4) in the intervention group. The research results indicated the positive impact of training on prenatal and postnatal depression and anxiety in fathers. Given the easy implementation of training interventions during pregnancy, it is suggested that such interventions be paid more attention.

AB - Objective To describe the prevalence and predictors of breastfeeding intent and outcomes in women with histories of childhood maltreatment trauma (CMT), including those with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Design Secondary analysis of a prospective observational cohort study of the effects of PTSD on perinatal outcomes. Setting Prenatal clinics in three health systems in the Midwestern United States. Participants Women older than 18 years expecting their first infants, comprising three groups: women who experienced CMT but did not have PTSD (CMT-resilient), women with a history of CMT and PTSD (CMT-PTSD), and women with no history of CMT (CMT-nonexposed). Methods Secondary analysis of an existing data set in which first-time mothers were well-characterized on trauma history, PTSD, depression, feeding plans, feeding outcomes, and several other factors relevant to odds of breastfeeding success. Results Intent to breastfeed was similar among the three groups. Women in the CMT-resilient group were twice as likely to breastfeed exclusively at 6 weeks (60.5%) as women in the CMT-PTSD group (31.1%). Compared with women in the CMT-nonexposed group, women in the CMT-resilient group were more likely to exclusively breastfeed. Four factors were associated with increased likelihood of any breastfeeding at 6 weeks: prenatal intent to breastfeed, childbirth education, partnered, and a history of CMT. Four factors were associated with decreased odds of breastfeeding: African American race, PTSD, major depression, and low level of education (high school or less). Conclusion Posttraumatic stress disorder is more important than childhood maltreatment trauma history in determining likelihood of breastfeeding success. Further research on the promotion of breastfeeding among PTSD-affected women who have experienced CMT is indicated.

Antenatal education is based on improving women's health, reducing the risks of complications and enhancing couples’ positive experience during childbirth. There is a lack of formal antenatal educational programs based on women’s needs in Jordan. Aim This study sought to identify and prioritize the learning needs for women during pregnancy. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed. The study sample was recruited from three maternal and child health centers. Data were collected from a convenient sample of 150 pregnant women during their antenatal visits. One hundred and twenty three participants (response rate = 82%) completed the self-reported antenatal learning needs questionnaire. Findings Women identified their most important learning needs were related to managing major complications of pregnancy (mean = 3.49, SD = 0.78), investigations and physician follow-up visit during pregnancy (mean = 3.42, SD = 0.71), appropriate diet (mean = 3.36, SD = 0.84) and information about medication and supplements (mean = 3.22, SD = 0.97). Spearman correlation showed negative association between participants’ age and physical (r = −0.536, p = 0.015) and emotional concerns (r = −0.490, p = 0.001). Women who had a diploma or higher degree reported greater concern regarding physical (median = 4.00, IQR = 3.00–4.00, p = 0.047) and emotional changes (median = 3.33, IQR = 3.00–4.00, p = 0.004). Finally, migrant participants showed greater significant concern regarding emotional changes and coping with minor complications. Conclusion A large proportion of pregnant women in this study reported a high degree of importance of specific learning topics that were closely relevant to their current period of pregnancy. The lack of focusing on issues related to maternal emotional status and possible complications suggests a need for a national strategy to provide antenatal education based on women’s perceptions of their needs.

There is little evidence on depression symptoms among men during the perinatal period.Objective: To identify characteristics associated with depression symptoms among men whose partners were pregnant and subsequently gave birth.Design, Setting, and Participants: A longitudinal cohort study provided data from a demographically diverse sample of 3523 New Zealand men who completed interviews during their partner's pregnancy and 9 months after the birth of their child. Participants were drawn from a cohort whose partners were pregnant women with a due date between April 25, 2009, and March 25, 2010, who were enrolled in the Growing Up in New Zealand study. Data analysis was conducted from September 1, 2015, to January 8, 2016.Main Outcomes and Measures: Depression symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire; elevated depression symptoms were defined as scores higher than 12 and 9, respectively.Results: The mean (SD) age of the participants at the antenatal interview was 33.20 (6.25) years (range, 16-63 years). Elevated antenatal paternal depression symptoms affected 82 fathers (2.3%) and were associated with perceived stress (odds ratio [OR], 1.38; 95% CI, 1.30-1.47) and fair to poor health during their partner's pregnancy (OR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.18-3.61). Elevated postnatal paternal depression symptoms affected 153 (4.3%) of fathers and were associated with perceived stress in pregnancy (OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.08-1.17), no longer being in a relationship with the mother 9 months after childbirth (OR, 6.36; 95% CI, 2.28-17.78), having fair to poor health at 9 months (OR, 3.29; 95% CI, 2.10-5.16), being unemployed at 9 months (OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.11-3.10), and a history of depression (OR, 2.84; 95% CI, 1.69-4.78).Conclusions and Relevance: Expectant fathers were at risk of depression symptoms if they felt stressed or were in poor health. Rates of elevated depression symptoms were higher during the postpartum period and were associated with adverse social and relationship factors. Identifying fathers most at risk of depressive symptoms and when best to target interventions (antenatal or postnatal) may be beneficial to men and their families.

AB - Fetal abnormalities are present in 3-5% of all pregnancies, leading to increased anxiety and the need for important discussions between patients and their care providers. Regardless of the severity of the anomaly, receiving the information can be traumatic for the pregnant patient and her partner. Most physicians who aren't trained to provide prenatal counseling understandably feel uncomfortable with the uncertainty and complex issues that arise in such high-stress counseling sessions. Genetic counselors are specifically trained to counsel patients in the setting of a fetal abnormality; however additional input from pediatric radiologists and other pediatric specialists is invaluable to parents in these situations and such input is an essential part of a team approach to prenatal counseling. The goal of this article is to provide a basic approach to counseling in the prenatal setting for pediatric radiologists and other specialists.

Antenatal care is one of the most effective interventions in reducing maternal mortality in the developing world. Hence, this study assessed the antenatal care utilization and its associated factors among pregnant women in Boricha district, southern Ethiopia. A community based cross-sectional study was conducted from January, 2015 to October 2015. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 626 women. Data were collected through structured and interviewer administered questionnaires. The data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20. A significant percentage 477 (76.2%) of the respondents were ever attended antenatal care. The educational status of the respondents and occupation of their partners were significantly associated with antenatal care utilization. Number of pregnancy, number of live birth, place of delivery and the profession of birth attendants were also significantly associated with antenatal care utilization. A significant percentage of respondents were ever attended antenatal care. Community mobilization and intensive utilization of community health agents are recommended to enhance the utilization of antenatal care.

In order to ease some of the burdens and anxieties that can affect pregnant women, the armed forces have implemented a network of professionals, support systems, and child education classes. Although these programs offer a considerable amount of information, some support systems lack efficient material concerning alternative labor and delivery services, such as doulas, labor coaches, and at home births. This review provides a summary of current programs offered through most military networks, and additional services which could be implemented.

AB - Objective: in many parts of Europe as in Ireland, maternity services do not provide infant CPR training routinely to expectant or new parents. Little is known of the views of expectant women and their partners about learning the skills of infant CPR as part of their antenatal education. The aim of this study was to evaluate knowledge, satisfaction and use of a 22 minute Self-Instructional Infant CPR kit to facilitate the teaching of infant CPR and the relief of choking in an infant. Methods: expectant women with their partners were recruited through the antenatal education classes from one maternity hospital in Ireland. An uncontrolled pre-post-test design was used and participants were surveyed immediately pre- and post-training and six months following training. Findings: the study sample comprised of 77 participants including 42 nulliparous women at least 32 weeks gestation or greater. It found significant difference in knowledge scores following training compared to baseline pјo0.0001 and at six months pјo0.0001 compared to immediate post training for both infant CPR and choking prevention. There was a 70% (nј58) response rate at six months with 84.5% reporting average or above confidence levels for performance of Infant CPR. The multiplier educational effect was 37.9% with 22 out of 58 participants sharing the kits with family and friends. Participants (57 out of 58) indicated that the maternity services should facilitate infant CPR training for expectant women and their partners. Conclusion: expectant women and their partners are very motivated to learn the skills of infant CPR. The facilitation of a 22 minute self-instructional infant CPR kit is effective in increasing infant CPR knowledge and confidence in parents at six months post training. Findings provide the views of expectant and new parents on the relevance of acquiring the skills of infant CPR as part of their preparation for parenthood.

Childbirth educators can play a key role in helping parents prepare for birthing their baby who may not live long after delivery. Existing perinatal palliative literature focuses on creating birth plans with the parents, but not on childbirth education. This article addresses that gap by exploring how to talk with parents receiving perinatal palliative care about their expectations of the birthing process and how to identify an approach and content for tailored childbirth education and support.

Fathers age 40 and older must be informed that they have a higher risk of contributing mutated sperm. It is important for childbirth educators to know about birth defects associated with paternal age prior to conception. Fathers over forty need to be prepared for the possibility of producing a child whose physical appearance at birth, medical needs, and family's emotional adjustments are a result of mutated sperm.

However, we know little about the prevalence and course of men's anxiety across the perinatal period. The current review is one of the first to systematically review the published literature.Methods: Five databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane, SCOPUS, and Web of Science) were searched to identify relevant papers published prior to April 2015. The literature search identified articles with data for expectant fathers (prenatal period) and/or fathers of an infant aged between 0 and 1 (postnatal period). The following data were extracted: (a) anxiety disorder prevalence (diagnostic clinical interviews), (b) 'high' anxiety symptom prevalence (above thresholds/cut-points on anxiety symptom scales) and (c) mean anxiety levels (anxiety symptom scales). Initially, 537 unique papers were identified. Subsequently, 43 papers met criteria for inclusion in the review.Results: Prevalence rates for 'any' anxiety disorder (as defined by either diagnostic clinical interviews or above cut-points on symptom scales) ranged between 4.1% and 16.0% during the prenatal period and 2.4-18.0% during the postnatal period. The data reviewed suggest the course of anxiety across the perinatal period is fairly stable with potential decreases postpartum.Limitations: Wide variation in study measurement and methodology makes synthesis of individual findings difficult. Anxiety is highly comorbid with depression, and thus measures of mixed anxiety/depression might better capture the overall burden of mental illness.Conclusions: Anxiety disorders are common for men during the perinatal period. Both partners should be included in discussions and interventions focused on obstetric care and parent mental health during the perinatal period.

BackgroundIn recent years, certain hospitals in Taiwan have opened the delivery room to expectant fathers, to enable their involvement in the childbirth process. Although studies have revealed that paternal participation during labour yields positive outcomes, the specific characteristics of couples who wish for childbirth participation have not been identified. MethodThis cross-sectional study recruited 199 couples from a medical centre in Southern Taiwan. Structured questionnaires on socio-demographic characteristics, desire for paternal childbirth participation, social support and marital intimacy were administered to expectant mothers and their husbands in the 36th week of pregnancy. ResultsMore than 80% of both expectant mothers and fathers expressed a preference for paternal childbirth participation. Logistic regression analyses showed that women with a bachelor’s degree or higher were most likely to prefer paternal childbirth participation. Husbands with a bachelor’s degree or higher and those who perceived greater marital intimacy and greater support from healthcare professionals were most likely to prefer to participate in the childbirth process. ConclusionThis study revealed that most couples preferred paternal childbirth participation. Education level was a predictor of prenatal couples’ preference for paternal childbirth participation. Health care practitioners can effectively assess couples who desire paternal childbirth participation, and provide support to fit their needs.

Design A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats framework guided the research and data collection methods. Mixed methodology was used, accessing qualitative and quantitative information from data bases, program and supporting agency staff. Quantitative data were analysed through a social sciences statistical package. Qualitative data were identified through questionnaires and analysed using thematic analysis. Setting Remote Aboriginal communities in the Goldfields region of Western Australia. Participant sources Twenty two participants including program and supporting agency staff. Main outcome measures This study measures acceptability and satisfaction of program antenatal and pre-conception activities by program staff and partner agencies. Results Qualitative results indicate acceptability and satisfaction with the program, identifying a range of organisational, staffing, cultural and interagency issues relating to a model of service provision. Quantitative data suggested positive program outputs from service delivery. Conclusion Findings suggest the Aboriginal Community Antenatal Program and partner agencies are increasing provision of community based pre-conception and antenatal health services and enhancing collaboration between a range of health provider agencies, with partnerships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal program staff contributing to an emerging model of community antenatal care.

AB - Encouraging male partners to accompany women to antenatal care (ANC) is an important first step in engaging men on maternal and newborn health. However, little is known regarding the impact of male partner antenatal accompaniment beyond HIV-related perinatal outcomes. A systematic review was conducted to synthesize the evidence on the influence of male accompaniment on non-HIV outcomes during pregnancy and into the postpartum period. Eligible studies were published in English from 2003 to 2013 and evaluated the effect of male antenatal accompaniment on perinatal health in a developing country. Four electronic databases and selected reference lists were searched. Out of 84 potential citations retrieved, seven publications were retained for the assessment of male antenatal accompaniment's influence using iterative thematic analysis. During pregnancy, male antenatal accompaniment positively impacted women's knowledge of danger signs, but did not affect birth preparedness, ANC utilization, or miscarriages. During labor and delivery, men's ANC presence was associated with increases in institutional delivery and skilled birth attendance, but with no effect for birth-related outcomes. During the early postnatal period, male antenatal accompaniment was associated with higher uptake of postnatal services, but with mixed effects on breastfeeding and newborn survival. Couples' increased communication on pregnancy care and men's subsequent motivation to ensure safe delivery may explain these observed benefits. Inadequate communication, late accompaniment, or partner type may explain the lack of influence on some outcomes. More efforts are needed to expand the implementation and evaluation of male involvement strategies to improve perinatal health.

AB - Objective: to examine breast feeding self-efficacy and identify its predictors among mainland Chinese mothers in the early postpartum period. Design and setting: a cross-sectional descriptive questionnaire survey was conducted in a regional teaching hospital with childbirth rate over 3000 per year at Guangzhou, China from April 1 to July 14, 2014. Participants: a total of 571 Chinese mothers who were within 72-96 hours post partum were recruited consecutively to the study. Measurements: data were collected by the Chinese version of the Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), the Network Support for Breastfeeding Scale (NSBS) and a socio-demographic data sheet. Findings: a total of 640 eligible women was approached and 571 mothers completed the study with the response rate of 89%. Mothers reported moderate level of breast feeding self-efficacy in the immediate postpartum period. The best-fit regression analysis revealed six variables that explained 43.9% of the variance in breast feeding self-efficacy in the immediate postpartum period. They were intention of breast feeding, support from husband, support from nurses/midwives, attending antenatal breast feeding classes, time from childbirth to initiate breast feeding and previous breast feeding experience. Conclusions and implications for practice: this study found six predictors of breast feeding self-efficacy in the immediate postpartum period. In order to increase maternal breast feeding self-efficacy level, a more women-centred approach is recommended. Mothers and fathers should be facilitated to attend antenatal classes on breast feeding. New mother' husband could be encouraged in supporting breast feeding. Nurses and midwives could encourage new mothers to initiate breast feeding as soon as possible. Further work to promote early mother--infant contact post birth, such as via skin to skin contact should also be facilitated where possible.

This is especially true for first-time parents. Traditional roles placing emphasis on the mother as the caregiver are changing to include fathers as primary caregivers. Additional support of fathers through specific childbirth education and techniques to increase paternal attachment is needed to address this trend. This article examines the importance of paternalinfant bonding or attachment, barriers to attachment, and interventions that childbirth educators may use to ease a father's fear of fatherhood.

AB - This study examined the predictive ability of mother's age, antenatal depression, education, financial difficulties, partner status, and smoking for a range of poor maternal and offspring outcomes assessed up to 61 months postnatally. Outcomes obtained from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) were maternal postnatal depression at 8 weeks (n = 10,070), never breastfeeding (n = 7,976), feelings of poor attachment (n = 8,253) and hostility (n = 8,159) at 47 months, and not in employment, education or training (NEET, n = 8,265) at 61 months. Only a small proportion of women with each outcome were aged less than 20 years when they were pregnant. At least half of the women experiencing these outcomes, and up to 74.7% of women with postnatal depression, could be identified if they had at least one of the predictors measured during pregnancy (age < 20, depression, education less than O level, financial difficulties, no partner, or smoking). Model discrimination was poor using maternal age only (area under the receiver operator characteristic (AUROC) curve approximately 0.52), except for never breastfeeding (0.63). Discrimination improved (AUROC: 0.80, 0.69, 0.62, 0.60, 0.66 for depression, never breastfeeding, poor attachment, hostility and NEET, respectively) when all six predictors were included in the model. Calibration improved for all outcomes with the model including all six predictors, except never breastfeeding where even age alone demonstrated good calibration. Factors other than young maternal age, including education, smoking and depression during pregnancy should be considered in identifying women and their offspring likely to benefit from parenting support interventions.

Fathers’ narratives can be understood within the theoretical framework of Draper’s Transition Theory; early fatherhood represents the continuation of a man’s transitory journey, which starts during pregnancy.Conclusion:Despite increasing public awareness and socio-political changes affecting paternal parenting culture, fathers still seem to feel undervalued and unsupported when it comes to antenatal support. The antenatal period is a critical time in which to engage with and support motivated expectant fathers; antenatal psycho-education classes can be adapted to accommodate the needs of men. The mental health of the man has an impact on the woman in the antenatal and post-natal periods; addressing the needs of men during pregnancy can function as an early intervention for his family system and could reduce the financial cost to health services in the long term.

AB - Objectives This article aims to investigate the impact of prenatal counseling on subsequent parents' experiences during in-patient care of their infant(s) and whether feelings of parents with deceased infants are different in principle. Study Design A questionnaire was sent to 99 families with a child born less than 26 weeks' gestational age at Medical School Hanover 2000-2008. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher exact t test and chi-square tests in IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 20.0. Results Response rate was 73%. Parents with solely surviving children significantly more often answered the questionnaire (p < 0.001). Regardless of the infants' outcome, parents who felt well involved in prenatal decision making significantly more often also felt adequately involved in postnatal treatment of their child (p = 0.006) and would again decide on life-sustaining treatment of an extremely premature infant (p = 0.007). Furthermore, they were significantly less dubious about the treatment of their baby (p = 0.013) than parents not feeling sufficiently involved. Significantly fewer parents with only surviving child(ren) decided to have another baby later than parents with at least one deceased child (p = 0.004). Conclusion This study stresses the impact of prenatal counseling and shows that, regardless of outcome, the course of a trusting relationship between parents and health care team is already set before birth.

Twenty-six women were recruited from the DOVE (Domestic Violence Enhanced Home Visit) intervention trial to participate in a nested qualitative interpretive study. Women valued the opportunity to discuss their intimate partner violence experiences and access support. Disclosure was a staged process and home visitor communication style and the development of a trusting relationship were influencing factors. Safety planning was an important feature of the DOVE intervention, whether the abuse was past or ongoing. Women highlighted the need for post-abuse support services. Perinatal home visitors require training in intimate partner violence that supports the development of good communication skills and provides opportunities for experiential learning and feedback with regards to asking about and responding to intimate partner violence. Reinforcement training activities are necessary in order to enhance home visitor's confidence and comfort, and sustain practice. Rigorous protocols are needed to ensure the safety of home visitors and women.

AB - The transition to parenthood is a stressful period for most parents as individuals and as couples, with variability in parent mental health and couple relationship functioning linked to children's long-term emotional, mental health, and academic outcomes. Few couple-focused prevention programs targeting this period have been shown to be effective. The purpose of this study was to test the short-term efficacy of a brief, universal, transition-to-parenthood intervention (Family Foundations) and report the results of this randomized trial at 10 months postpartum. This was a randomized controlled trial; 399 couples expecting their first child were randomly assigned to intervention or control conditions after pretest. Intervention couples received a manualized nine-session (five prenatal and four postnatal classes) psychoeducational program delivered in small groups. Intent-to-treat analyses indicated that intervention couples demonstrated better posttest levels than control couples on more than two thirds of measures of coparenting, parent mental health, parenting, child adjustment, and family violence. Program effects on family violence were particularly large. Of eight outcome variables that did not demonstrate main effects, seven showed moderated intervention impact; such that, intervention couples at higher levels of risk during pregnancy showed better outcomes than control couples at similar levels of risk. These findings replicate a prior smaller study of Family Foundations, indicating that the Family Foundations approach to supporting couples making the transition to parenthood can have broad impact for parents, family relationships, and children's adjustment. Program effects are consistent and benefit all families, with particularly notable effects for families at elevated prenatal risk.

AB - Objective: contribute to the existing body of knowledge about the specific needs of first-time parents specifically for early parenthood. Method: the databases PubMed, MEDLINE, PSYCINFO, CINAHL, EMBASE, Family Studies Abstracts, and Web of Science, were searched using search terms: prenatal, antenatal, preparation, education, parents, parenthood. The meta-synthesis included 12 articles representing 12 studies. The meta-ethnographic approach of Nobilt and Hare was used in the meta-synthesis. Synthesis and Findings: first-time expectant and new parents reflect a need for antenatal education to actively include male partners pre- and postnatal. Participants wished for early and realistic information about parenting skills, and to have the opportunity to seek support and help from health professionals when need arose especially during the early postnatal period. Another element was the need to learn both from peers and other new parents coming as guest speakers. Participants wished to have been well informed ahead of time, about the possible changes in their conjugal relationship and the related coping strategies. Key conclusions: equal emphasis should be placed both during the prenatal and postnatal periods in antenatal education classes. Implications for practice: interventions aiming at enhancing positive transitions to parenthood could be introduced early during the postnatal period. Parenthood education classes could adopt adult learning strategies that are participatory, and experiential in nature.

SP - 1 EP - 9 JO - BMC Pregnancy & Childbirth JF - BMC Pregnancy & Childbirth JA - BMC PREGNANCY CHILDBIRTH VL - 16 PB - BioMed Central AB - Background: As making preparations for birth and health facility delivery are behaviours linked to positive maternal and newborn health outcomes, we aimed to describe what birth preparations were made, where women delivered, and why.Methods: Outcomes were tabulated using data derived from a repeated sample (continuous) quantitative household survey of women aged 13-49 who had given birth in the past year. Insights into why behaviours took place emerged from analysis of in-depth interviews (12) and birth narratives (36) with recently delivered mothers and male partners.Results: Five hundred-twenty three women participated in the survey from April 2012-November 2013. Ninety-five percent (496/523) of women made any birth preparations for their last pregnancy. Commonly prepared birth items were cotton gauze (93 %), a plastic cover to deliver on (84 %), gloves (72 %), clean clothes (70 %), and money (42 %). Qualitative data suggest that preparation of items used directly during delivery was perceived as necessary to facilitate good care and prevent disease transmission. Sixty-eight percent of women gave birth at a health facility, 30 % at home, and 2 % on the way to a health facility. Qualitative data suggested that health facility delivery was viewed positively and that women were inclined to go to a health facility because of a perception of: increased education about delivery and birth preparedness; previous health facility delivery; and better availability and accessibility of facilities in recent years. Perceived barriers: were a lack of money; absent health facility staff or poor provider attitudes; women perceiving that they were unable to go to a health facility or arrange transport on their own; or a lack of support of pregnant women from their partners.Conclusions: The majority of women made at least some birth preparations and gave birth in a health facility. Functional items needed for birth seem to be given precedence over practices like saving money. As such, maintaining education about the importance of these practices, with an emphasis on emergency preparedness, would be valuable. Alongside education delivered as part of focussed antenatal care, community-based interventions that aim to increase engagement of men in birth preparedness, and support agency among women, are recommended.

Concurrently, providers are challenged with providing parents a supportive environment within which to make these decisions. Practice guidelines for medical care of these infants and the principles of perinatal palliative care for families can be resources for providers, but there is limited research to bridge these medical and humanistic approaches to infant and family care. The purpose of this article is to describe how parents at risk of delivering their infant prior to 26 weeks gestation interpreted the quality of their interpersonal interactions with healthcare providers.Methods: Directed content analysis was employed to perform secondary analysis of data from 54 parents (40 mothers and 14 fathers) from the previously coded theme "Quality of Interactions." These categorized data described parents' encounters, expectations, and experiences of interactions that occurred prenatally with care providers. For this analysis, Swanson's theory of caring was selected to guide analysis and to delineate parents' descriptions of caring and uncaring interactions.Results: Parents' expectations for caring included: (a) respecting parents and believing in their capacity to make the best decisions for their family (maintaining belief); (b) understanding parents' experiences and their continued need to protect their infant (knowing); (c) physically and emotionally engaging with the parents (being with); (d) providing unbiased information describing all possibilities (enabling); and (e) helping parents navigate the system and creating a therapeutic environment for them in which to make decisions (doing for).Significance Of Results: Understanding parents' prenatal caring expectations through Swanson's theory gives deeper insights, aligning their expectations with the palliative care movement.

Pregnant women (n = 2654) in their third trimester, participating in a prevention of mother to child tranmission (PMTCT) program between June 2002 and March 2004 were encouraged to inform and invite their partners for HIV-VCT. Trained nurses conducted pre-test counselling, interviews, clinical examinations and blood sampling from the participating women and their partners. Test results were presented and post-test counselling was conducted individually or in couples, depending on the wishes of the participants. Three-hundred-and-thirty-two male partners (12.5%) came for HIV-VCT. A high proportion (131; 40%) came after the woman had delivered. HIV-seropositive women whose partners attended were three times more likely to use Nevirapine prophylaxis, four times more likely to avoid breastfeeding and six times more likely to adhere to the infant feeding method selected than those whose partners didn't attend. Women were more likely to bring their partner for VCT if they collected their own test results, were living with their partner, had a high monthly income and had expressed at enrolment the intention to share HIV results with their partner. Although PMTCT programs are presumably a good entry point for male involvement in prevention of sexual and perinatal HIV transmission, this traditional clinic-based approach reaches few men. Given the positive influence male participation has on the acceptance of perinatal interventions, a different approach for promoting male participation in VCT is urgently required. Within PMTCT programs, counseling should emphasize the advantages of partner participation to encourage women to inform and convince male partners to come for VCT. Also, promotion of couple VCT outside antenatal settings in male friendly and accessible settings should be given priority.

Design: a longitudinal regional survey. Data were collected by three questionnaires. Setting: three hospitals in the middle-north part of Sweden. Participants: 1047 expectant fathers recruited in mid-pregnancy and followed up at two months and one year after birth. Measurements: childbirth fear was assessed using the Fear of Birth Scale (FOBS). Self-rated physical and mental health and perceived difficulties were assessed in mid pregnancy. Two months after birth antenatal attendance, mode of birth and the birth experience were investigated. Parental stress was measured using the Swedish Parental Stress Questionnaire (SPSQ). Crude and adjusted odds ratios were calculated between expectant fathers who scored 50 and above (childbirth fear) and those that did not (no fear). Findings: expectant fathers with childbirth related fear (13.6%) reported poorer physical (OR 1.8; 95% CI 1.2-2.8) and mental (OR 3.0; 1.8-5.1) health than their non-fearful counterparts. The fearful fathers were more likely to perceive difficulties in pregnancy (OR 2.1; 1.4-3.0), and the forthcoming birth (OR 4.3; 2.9-6.3) compared to fathers without childbirth fear. First-time fathers with fear attended fewer antenatal classes. Fathers with high fear reported higher mean scores in four of the five subscales of the SPSQ. Childbirth related fear was not associated with mode of birth or fathers0 birth experience. Key conclusions: expectant fathers with childbirth related fear had poorer health, viewed the pregnancy, birth and the forthcoming parenthood with more difficulties. They were less often present during antenatal classes and had higher parental stress.

AB - Objective: to investigate first-time fathers' expectations and experiences of childbirth and satisfaction with care in relation to paternal age. Design: data from a randomised controlled trial of antenatal education were used for secondary analysis. Data were collected by questionnaires in mid-pregnancy and at three months after the birth. Comparisons by χ2-tests and Student's t-tests were made between men in three age groups: young men aged ⩽27 years (n=188), men of average age 28-33 years (n=389) and men of advanced age ⩾34 years (n=200). Setting: the expectant fathers were recruited from 15 antenatal clinics spread over Sweden. Participants: 777 first-time fathers. Findings: antenatal expectations and postnatal memory of the childbirth experience varied by paternal age. In mid-pregnancy, mixed or negative feelings about the upcoming birth were more prevalent in men of advanced age (29%) compared with men of average (26%) and young (18%) age (po0.01), and they feared the event more than the youngest (mean on the Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire: advanced age 43.3; average age 42.9; young 38.7; po0.01). The older men also assessed their partner's labour and birth as more difficult (advanced age 43%; average age 41%; young 32%; p=0.05) and had a less positive overall birth experience (advanced age 30%; average age 36%; young 43%; po0.05). However, older fathers were more satisfied with care given during the intrapartum period: 52% were overall satisfied compared with 46% of the men of average age and 39% of young age (p=0.03). Key conclusions: men of advanced age had more fearful and negative expectations during their partner's pregnancies and postnatally assessed the births as less positive and more difficult than younger men did. Despite this, older men were more satisfied with intrapartum care. Implications for practice: knowledge about age-related differences in the expectations and experiences of first-time fathers may help midwives and doctors give more individualised information and support, with special attention to older men's expectations and experiences of the birth as such, and to younger men's perception of care.

SP - 630 EP - 630 JO - BMC Health Services Research JF - BMC Health Services Research JA - BMC HEALTH SERV RES VL - 16 PB - BioMed Central AB - Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) during or before pregnancy is associated with many adverse health outcomes. Pregnancy-related complications or poor infant health outcomes can arise from direct trauma as well as physiological effects of stress, both of which impact maternal health and fetal growth and development. Antenatal care can be a key entry point within the health system for many women, particularly in low-resource settings. Interventions to identify violence during pregnancy and offer women support and counselling may reduce the occurrence of violence and mitigate its consequences.Methods: Following a formative research phase, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted to test a nurse-led empowerment counselling intervention, originally developed for high-income settings and adapted for urban South Africa. The primary outcome is reduction of partner violence, and secondary outcomes include improvement in women's mental health, safety and self-efficacy. The study aims to recruit 504 pregnant women from three antenatal clinics in Johannesburg who will be randomized to the nurse-led empowerment arm (two 30-min counselling sessions) or enhanced control condition (a referral list) to determine whether participants in the intervention arm have better outcomes as compared to the those in the control arm.Discussion: This research will provide much needed evidence on whether a short counselling intervention delivered by nurses is efficacious and feasible in low resource settings that have high prevalence of IPV and HIV.Trial Registration: The study was registered in the South African Clinical Trials Registry (DOH-27-0414-4720) on 11 August 2014 and in the ISRCTN Registry ( ISRCTN35969343 ) on 23 May 2016).

Rat renal proximal tubular cells were used in vitro.Results: On ND, the offspring of dams with severe maternal diabetes had an intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) phenotype and developed mild hypertension and evidence of kidney injury in adulthood. Exposing the IUGR offspring to HFD resulted in rapid weight gain, catch-up growth, and later to profound kidney injury with activation of renal TGFβ1 and collagen type IV expression, increased oxidative stress, and enhanced renal lipid deposition, but not systemic hypertension. Given our data, we speculate that HFD or free fatty acids may accelerate the process of perinatal programming of kidney injury, via increased CD36 and fatty acid-binding protein 4 expression, which may target reactive oxygen species, nuclear factor-kappa B, and TGFβ1 signaling in vivo and in vitro.Conclusion: Early postnatal exposure to overnutrition with a HFD increases the risk of development of kidney injury, but not hypertension, in IUGR offspring of dams with maternal diabetes.

Nitric oxide deficiency during pregnancy causes hypertension in adult offspring.Objective: We examined whether maternal melatonin or N-acetylcysteine therapy can prevent NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester-induced fetal programming of hypertension in adult offspring. Next, we aimed to identify potential gatekeeper pathways that contribute to NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester -induced programmed hypertension using the next generation RNA sequencing technology.Study Design: Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to 4 groups: control, NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester, NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester +melatonin, and NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester+N-acetylcysteine. Pregnant rats received NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester administration at 60 mg/kg/d subcutaneously during pregnancy alone, with additional 0.01% melatonin in drinking water, or with additional 1% N-acetylcysteine in drinking water during the entire pregnancy and lactation. Male offspring (n=8/group) were killed at 12 weeks of age.Results: NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester exposure during pregnancy induced programmed hypertension in adult male offspring, which was prevented by maternal melatonin or N-acetylcysteine therapy. Protective effects of melatonin and N-acetylcysteine against NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester-induced programmed hypertension were associated with an increase in hydrogen sulfide-generating enzymes and hydrogen sulfide synthesis in the kidneys. Nitric oxide inhibition by NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester in pregnancy caused >2000 renal transcripts to be modified during nephrogenesis stage in 1-day-old offspring kidney. Among them, genes belong to the renin-angiotensin system, and arachidonic acid metabolism pathways were potentially involved in the NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester-induced programmed hypertension. However, melatonin and N-acetylcysteine reprogrammed the renin-angiotensin system and arachidonic acid pathway differentially.Conclusion: Our results indicated that antioxidant therapy, by melatonin or N-acetylcysteine, in pregnant rats with nitric oxide deficiency can prevent programmed hypertension in male adult offspring. Early intervention with specific antioxidants that target redox imbalance in pregnancy to reprogram hypertension may well allow us to reduce the future burden of hypertension. The roles of transcriptome changes that are induced by NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester in the offspring kidney require further clarification.

AB - The transition to parenthood is a time of great change for mothers and fathers, and also lays the foundation for the long-term health and wellbeing of the child. This emphasises the importance of preparation for parenthood. A Department of Health-commissioned review found provision and uptake of antenatal education to be variable, and so brought a group of experts together to consider Preparation for Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond.

The hypothesis that exposure to phthalates reduces the levels of testosterone and INSL3, a marker of Leydig cell function, is underexplored.Study Design, Size, Duration: This case-control study of 176 men ran from 2010 to 2012. Infertile men were recruited through infertility clinics in Taiwan, fertile men were recruited from childbirth preparation classes and all were categorized based on the World Health Organization definition of infertility and by the diagnoses of obstetricians.Participants/materials, Setting, Methods: Urinary concentrations of 11 phthalate metabolites were measured, along with serum levels of FSH, LH, total testosterone (TT), estradiol, sex hormone-binding globulin and Inhibin B. Androgen status indices including free testosterone (fT) and the free androgen index (FAI) were calculated. The circulating INSL3 level was evaluated using a radioimmunoassay. Non-parametric analyses, trend tests and linear regression models were used.Main Results and the Role Of Chance: Urinary mono-n-butyl phthalate (MnBP), mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) and mono-2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl phthalate were significantly higher in infertile than in fertile men. Serum Inhibin B, the Inhibin B : FSH ratio, the TT : LH ratio and INSL3 were significantly lower in infertile men. In multiple regression models controlled for potential confounders, there is an inverse association between urinary levels of mono-methyl phthalate (MMP), mono-iso-butyl phthalate (MiBP), MEHP, MEHP% and serum TT (P = 0.001, 0.007, 0.042 and 0.012, respectively). The inverse associations were also found between urinary levels of MiBP, monobenzyl phthalate (MBzP), MEHP, MEHP% and serum fT (P = 0.028, 0.017, 0.045 and 0.027, respectively); between urinary levels of MMP, MEHP, MEHP% and the TT : LH ratio (P = 0.004, 0.029 and 0.039, respectively); between urinary levels of MMP, MiBP, MnBP, MBzP, MEHP and the FAI (P = 0.002, 0.008, 0.037, 0.028, 0.042 and 0.016, respectively). Urinary MBzP and MEHP% were negatively associated with a decrease in serum INSL3 (P = 0.049 and <0.001). We also observed a strong inverse relationship between MEHP% quartiles and serum TT, fT, the TT : LH ratio and INSL3 (Ptrend = 0.003, 0.080, 0.002 and 0.012, respectively). Serum INSL3, TT, fT and the TT : LH ratio were lower for men in the highest MEHP% quartile than in the reference group (P = 0.007, 0.002, 0.090 and 0.001, respectively).Limitations, Reasons For Caution: A potential limitation is using a single urine and blood sample to predict urinary phthalate metabolites and reproductive hormone status over long periods. However, there is evidence that a single measure provides a reliable result in population studies.Wider Implications Of the Findings: Non-occupational exposure to phthalates, including di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, might lead to adverse effects on testicular/Leydig cell function and be of concern owing to the ubiquitous multisource exposure to phthalates among the general population. Although our findings are in agreement with recent experimental data, more studies are required to draw firm conclusions on the relation of INSL3 to phthalate exposure or testicular/Leydig cell function.

We evaluated the effectiveness of the Kit for New Parents, a multimedia health and parenting resource now distributed annually to 500000 parents in California. METHODS: In this quasi-experimental study, 462 mothers in the intervention group and 1011 mothers in the comparison group, recruited from prenatal and postnatal programs, completed a baseline interview about health-relevant parenting knowledge, and mothers in the intervention group received the kit. Both groups were reinterviewed 2 months later. At 14-months postbaseline, 350 mothers in the intervention group and a sample of 414 mothers who had equivalent demographic characteristics (comparison group) were interviewed about parenting knowledge and practices. RESULTS: Of the mothers in the intervention group, 87% reported using the kit within 2 months after receiving it, and 53% had shared it with their partner. At both follow-ups, mothers in the intervention group showed greater gains in knowledge and reported better practices at 14 months than did mothers in the comparison group. Gains were greater for prenatal recipients and for Spanish speakers. Providers considered the kit a valuable resource for their parenting programs. CONCLUSIONS: The kit is an effective, low-cost, statewide health intervention for parents. SN - 0090-0036 U2 - PMID: 17761577.

The aim of this pilot study is to describe the experience and assessment of maternity care services during pregnancy in Finland by post-40-year-old pregnant women. Study design and methods: The data was collected through open interviews with themes which were planned in advance. The study included 11 post-40-year-old pregnant women who were at 20 to 40 weeks of gestation. They were both primi- and multiparae. The data was analysed using inductive content analysis. Results: The women were, in general, satisfied with the maternity care services they received and felt they had received good care. However, several issues were mentioned that require further consideration: provision of information about foetal screening, childbirth education and organisation of services. The women described receiving scant, unfocussed information about foetal screening from different sources and explicit information was missing. The timing and reliability of the screening were not explained in a detailed manner. The needs of the fathers-to-be were not addressed during the visits and in childbirth education. Conclusion: Intervention studies of childbirth education based on the experiences and expectations of women of advanced maternal age and their partners should be developed.

Participants were recruited using a quota sampling method. A questionnaire was used to collect information on demography, men's educational needs and attitude assessment. The mean attitude score was 79.13% (SD 10.5%). More than 95% of participants agreed with perinatal care education for men and the content most required was "Signs of risks during the perinatal period" and "Mothers' nutrition". The majority of participants preferred the face-to-face couples' counselling method, at home as the best place, evening and weekends as the best time and marriage classes as the best time for initiation. Men's education is necessary to promote male involvement in perinatal care.

Partners of women with PPPD are also affected by the illness, but their experiences are seldom described. The aim of this study was to explore men's experience of women with PPPD. Methods Eleven written narratives from the internet were used to analyse men's perceived experience of their partner's PPPDs. Data were analysed using content analysis. Results The men revealed a major disruption in their lives. They expressed fear, confusion and anger; they were also extremely concerned about their partners, and felt unable to help in overcoming the disorder. Most of the men described making sacrifices in order to hold the relationship and the family together. Although the disorder improved over time, they were left to face an uncertain future with a woman who seemed to be very different from the person they had known previously. Most of the men gained maturity and increased self-esteem, but for some the result was divorce, custody disputes and loneliness. Conclusions The men in this study experienced the woman's PPPD as a difficult time, when everything familiar was turned upside down. Health professionals should pay more attention to men's mental health in the postpartum period. Furthermore, information regarding the possibility of these disorders should be given to expectant couples in prenatal classes. Further research is needed to ascertain how and to what extent this should be included in the education.

AB - This study aimed to explore first-time fathers' experiences of becoming a father, focusing on their expectations, experiences, and how they are coping with this transition. An interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) epistemology and methodology were adopted as the study was focused on understanding the meaning and experiences of this transition for fathers. Nine participants were recruited from seven NCT antenatal classes. The mean age of participants was 38 years (range=30 to 46 years). Participants completed a semi-structured interview between four and eleven weeks post birth. One overarching superordinate theme was derived: 'searching for a place'. This theme consisted of three subthemes - 'the separation connection struggle', 'a sense of utility, agency and control' and 'changing focus of affection'. The findings expand on our understanding of new fathers' experiences, and suggest that first-time fathers experienced an array of psychological responses during each stage of their transition as they searched for their place as father in relation to their partner, child and work. Professionals working in antenatal and postnatal services should discuss with men the possible emotional and psychological changes they may go through to enable more realistic expectations to be considered.

Mother's self-report of partners' weight was obtained at study entry (<16 weeks gestation), 30 weeks gestation, and 6 and 12 months postpartum.Results: At study entry, 157 of 200 (78%) of intervention mothers and 144 of 201 (72%) of standard care mothers reported having a partner. In intent-to-treat analyses, there was no significant treatment × time effects on partner weight (P = 0.67). In secondary analyses, partners of OW/OB intervention women lost weight from study entry to 6 and 12 months postpartum (-0.5 ± 9.5 kg, -1.0 ± 9.3 kg; P < 0.05), while partners of standard care women gained weight during the same time frame (+2.5 ± 6.7 kg, +2.9 ± 7.4 kg; P < 0.05); adjusting for partner study entry BMI removed these effects.Conclusions: Lifestyle intervention delivered to pregnant women did not significantly reduce weight of untreated partners. Future research is needed to test prenatal interventions that engage partners and use objective measures of weight.

AB - This study utilizes video feedback to improve maternal parenting behavior in clinically depressed mothers admitted to a perinatal inpatient psychiatric unit. Depressed mothers ( n = 74) were randomized to 'video' ( n = 25), 'verbal' ( n = 26), or 'standard care' ( n = 23). 'Video' mothers were taped playing with their infant; interaction was reviewed with a mental health specialist. 'Verbal' mothers only discussed interaction with their infant. 'Standard care' mothers received only routine inpatient care. Mothers were assessed for mental health status, perceptions of baby behavior, and parenting competence. There was significant improvement in mental health status of all participants, regardless of intervention. Neither intervention had an advantage, compared to standard care, in improving parenting confidence or perceptions of infant behavior. Video mothers were more likely to report no change in their parenting confidence the more feedback sessions completed. The number of intervention sessions for each participant was limited by the duration of their inpatient admission. Most participants were on simultaneous pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, as well as receiving intensive mothercraft assistance; this may have influenced intervention effectiveness. Results suggest that this type of intervention may be beneficial, but in the current format does not add sufficiently to standard care to be detected by the measures used.

What is the connection between perinatal education and marriage in the transition to parenthood? Perinatal education which includes childbirth education is at the forefront of revolutionizing its underlying paradigm. Perinatal and childbirth educators are being invited to expand their horizons, to reconsider education from a relational viewpoint, and not only to prepare couples for those few hours of birthing but for so much more. The author is helping couples 'divorce proof' their relationship, conjugal or marital, as they traverse the transition to parenthood. The greatest gifts that parents can give their children are a happy and viable relationship and the security of their love.

However, most prenatal interventions fail to help unmarried mothers talk and plan together with their baby's father, especially when fathers are nonresidential. This article details one of the nation's first interventions explicitly designed to support coparenting and triangular (mother-father- infant) relationships in African American families where the parents are unmarried, be they coupled or uncoupled. The Figuring It Out for the Child (FIOC) project in St. Petersburg, FL, successfully partnered with local community leaders in designing, implementing, and evaluating a novel dyadic, prenatal intervention enrolling both coresidential and non- coresidential African American parents. The authors provide an overview of the state of the field when the project began, explain the significance of the project's community connectedness, summarize details of outreach efforts, and highlight noteworthy findings relevant to this issue.

In particular, they prompt us to consider our work with fathers. Participative courses, with small group work as a core feature, enable women and men to learn in a way that is consistent with an adult learning model and to get to know others going through a similar life change. NCT antenatal courses are used as a case study to consider aspects of preparation against current criteria for good practice, based on evidence from a survey and qualitative feedback from fathers.

Method: The intervention was carried out during the last class of a public health prenatal education series. A total of 31 first-time expectant parents participated and included both women (N = 16) and men (N = 15; mean, 29 years). The intervention was an in-person session on the topics of a safe sleeping environment, shaken baby syndrome, physical punishment risks and positive parenting, and expected development and safety. Participants completed the Infant Safety Education Project Questionnaire after the intervention. Results: Overall, most participants in this study found the content useful, planned to use it in caring for their infant, and indicated that this information should be shared with all expectant parents. Discussion: Findings support a larger scale study to determine parent education needs of expectant parents and the development, implementation, and evaluation of programming. Pediatric nurse practitioners and other primary care practitioners should be aware of the education needs of expectant parents and be prepared to provide anticipatory guidance and resources as appropriate.

AB - Purpose: Reduced sexual activity and dysfunctional problems are highly prevalent in the perinatal period, and there is a lack of data regarding the degree of normality during pregnancy. Several risk factors have been independently associated with a greater extent of Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of sexual inactivity and sexual dysfunctions in German women during the perinatal period and the verification of potential risk factors.Methods: Questionnaires were administered to 315 women prenatally (TI 3rd trimester) and postpartum (TII 1 week, TIII 4 months), including the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and the Questionnaire of Partnership (PFB).Results: The frequency of sexual inactivity was 24% (TI), 40.5% (TII), and 19.9% (TIII). Overall, 26.5-34.8% of women were at risk of sexual dysfunction (FSFI score <26.55) at all measurement points. Sexual desire disorder was the most prevalent form of Female sexual dysfunction. Furthermore, especially breastfeeding and low partnership quality were revealed as significant risk factors for sexual dysfunctional problems postpartum. Depressive symptoms having a cesarean section and high maternal education were correlated with dysfunctional problems in several subdomains.Conclusions: Findings indicated that women at risk of FSD differed significantly in aspects of partnership quality, breastfeeding, mode of delivery, maternal education, and depressive symptoms. Aspects of perinatal sexuality should be routinely implemented in the counseling of couples in prenatal classes.

Pregnancy is a time when both physical and emotional changes affect the lives of expectant parents as they prepare for parenthood. The aim of this study was to focus on fathers during and shortly after pregnancy. A prospective longitudinal study was conducted in all hospital prenatal clinics in the county council of Västernorrland, Sweden. Participating were 827 partners of women who had been pregnant and given birth during the period of June 2007 to June 2008. Data were collected using three questionnaires. Regression analysis showed that fathers who were most concerned about their new role were those that were university educated, first-time fathers, and those with financial worries. Support from the midwife or others close to the father did not impact fathers' thoughts about the difficulties of being a parent during pregnancy, but lack of support from the partners after the birth increased fathers' concern. This study suggests that more research is needed on fathers' own needs for support in parenting.

AB - We sought to assess the contribution of paternal involvement to racial disparities in infant mortality. Using vital records data from singleton births in Florida between 1998 and 2005, we generated odds ratios (OR), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and preventative fractions to assess the association between paternal involvement and infant mortality. Paternal involvement status was based on presence/absence of paternal first and/or last name on the birth certificate. Disparities in infant mortality were observed between and within racial/ethnic subpopulations. When compared to Hispanic (NH)-white women with involved fathers, NH-black women with involved fathers had a two-fold increased risk of infant mortality whereas infants born to black women with absent fathers had a seven-fold increased risk of infant mortality. Elevated risks of infant mortality were also observed for Hispanic infants with absent fathers (OR = 3.33. 95%CI = 2.66-4.17). About 65-75% of excess mortality could be prevented with increased paternal involvement. Paternal absence widens the black-white gap in infant mortality almost four-fold. Intervention programs to improve perinatal paternal involvement may decrease the burden of absent father-associated infant mortality.

The sample included 267 puerperae hospitalized in the maternity unit of a university hospital in Porto Alegre/RS. The data were collected through a self-applied instrument and statistically analyzed. The majority of the puerperae (51.3%) were between 18 and 25 years old, 55.4% were nonsmokers, 25.5% were smokers, 19.1% had recently ceased smoking (in abstinence). The nonsmokers had more consultations than the smokers and the abstinent smokers (p=0.025). The number of women who had more than one child was higher among smokers than among nonsmokers and abstinent smokers (p=0.002). Women were more likely to stop smoking before pregnancy when they had a partner who was a nonsmoker (p=0.007). Several factors influence smoking and smoking cessation and these are important in prenatal interventions aimed at pregnant women and their partners. SN - 1518-8345 U2 - PMID: 20922330.

We now investigate whether the effects of maternal stroking persist to 2.5 years. Given animal and human evidence for sex differences in the effects of prenatal stress we compare associations in boys and girls.MethodFrom a general population sample of 1233 first-time mothers recruited at 20 weeks gestation we drew a random sample of 316 for assessment at 32 weeks, stratified by reported inter-partner psychological abuse, a risk indicator for child development. Of these mothers, 243 reported at 5 and 9 weeks how often they stroked their infants, and completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) at 2.5 years post-delivery.ResultsThere was a significant interaction between prenatal anxiety and maternal stroking in the prediction of CBCL internalizing (p = 0.001) and anxious/depressed scores (p < 0.001). The effects were stronger in females than males, and the three-way interaction prenatal anxiety × maternal stroking × sex of infant was significant for internalizing symptoms (p = 0.003). The interactions arose from an association between prenatal anxiety and internalizing symptoms only in the presence of low maternal stroking.ConclusionsThe findings are consistent with stable epigenetic effects, many sex specific, reported in animal studies. While epigenetic mechanisms may be underlying the associations, it remains to be established whether stroking affects gene expression in humans.

Questionnaires were distributed to parents (350 mothers and 343 fathers) in maternity wards in one hospital in Stockholm during a 4-week period in 1999. Questionnaires from 251 mothers and 235 fathers were analysed. Preparation for childbirth, care received during delivery, and experiences of labour and delivery are described and analysed against whether a postpartum talk, was wanted or not. Comparisons between first-time mothers/fathers and multiple-time mothers/fathers were made. The results show that 66% of first-time mothers, 74% of multiple-time mothers, 58% of first-time fathers, and 30% of multiple-time fathers wanted to talk about the delivery. The issues, which the parents considered should be included in such a postpartum talk were the birth process, normal/complicated delivery, feelings of failure, pain and pain relief. Parents mainly wanted to talk to the midwife who delivered the woman and the best time for the postpartum talk seems to be at the maternity ward before discharge.

A mixed-methods design, experimental repeated measures with interviews at 6-month follow-up was conducted. Satisfaction was moderate to high. Mantram was used for labor pains and uncertainty. Implications include scheduling flexible classes earlier in pregnancy. A larger randomized study is needed to assess intervention effectiveness.

Background Becoming a father is a major life event and paternal involvement during pregnancy has a positive influence on the family. However, research into both expectant mothers' and fathers' perspectives on fathers' involvement during pregnancy is relatively scarce. Design A descriptive qualitative study was used. Methods Thirty expectant parents (20 women and 10 men) were interviewed either as part of one of four focus groups or in an individual interview. Qualitative content analysis was performed on the interview transcripts. Results A theme of 'Paddling upstream' emerged as an expression of the latent content of the interviews concerning perspectives on fathers' involvement. Five sub-themes described the manifest content: trying to participate, trying to be understanding, trying to learn, trying to be a calming influence and trying to find a balanced life. Expectant parents suggested several ways to improve fathers' involvement and to meet parents' need for shared involvement. Conclusion Expectant mothers and fathers wanted the father to be more involved in the pregnancy. Although fathers attempted different strategies, they did not always perceive what was expected of them and encountered many barriers as they tried to navigate through this unique experience. The best support for the father was the mother. Expectant parents wanted their healthcare to include the father more thoroughly and to focus on the whole family. Relevance to clinical practice Prenatal care professionals can overcome barriers that prevent paternal involvement. Although fathers are not able to engage in the pregnancy on the same level as the mother, we suggest that their specific needs also be recognised through an increased awareness of gender norms in healthcare.

Phase 2 looks at how, following this research, standards were developed from parents' requests and audited over eight years. Parents wanted a leaflet and referral to the cleft team when told the diagnosis. They wanted more preparation for breastfeeding, a meeting with their primary care team before the birth and they wanted the scan diagnosis to be accurate. Audit results showed that a number of sonographers were diagnosing cleft lip and palate with considerable variation in their accuracy. The audit results also highlighted a noticeable improvement in breast feeding rates and the giving of expressed breast milk (EBM) by bottle when parents were well prepared for their child's birth. It also showed that aprotocol of care that was parent-led and included parental and professi onal education positively improved parent's confidence, bonding and feeding management.

Concern over this incident led to a protocol of care being developed at the unit followed by an evaluation of expectant parents' responses to this protocol.Ten parents were interviewed as part of a study. The aim of this research was to assess whether the information and support given to families was appropriate and helpful; explore parent's feelings about their pregnancy and their child and identify ways of further developing support for these parents.From an analysis of parents comments the study found that in cases of cleft lip and palate, what parent wanted most was: an accurate diagnosis; prompt referral to a cleft team; support from a named clinical nurse specialist; pictures relevant to their child's diagnosis to show family and friends; and a meeting with professionals to plan the care of their child.

AB - This study aims to examine the acceptability and effectiveness of an antenatal group intervention designed to reduce the severity of depression and anxiety symptoms and improve maternal attachment in pregnant women with current or emerging depression and anxiety. Women who participated in the program completed pre- and posttreatment measures of depression (Centre of Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale), anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) and maternal attachment (Condon Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale). Participants also completed a satisfaction questionnaire and provided general feedback about the group intervention and experience. A total of 48 women ( M = 26 weeks of gestation) commenced and 37 (77 %) completed at least 80 % of the six session group intervention. Significant improvements with moderate to large effect sizes were observed for depression as measured on the Centre of Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) ( p < 0.001), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) ( p < 0.001), state anxiety ( p < 0.001) and maternal attachment ( p = 0.006). Improvements in posttreatment depression scores on the EPDS were maintained at 2 months postpartum. Participants reported that the program had met their expectations. Partners ( n = 21) who completed evaluation forms indicated that their attendance had improved their awareness of their partner's mental health issues and resources available to their family and would recommend the program to other fathers. These preliminary findings suggest that our antenatal group program is an effective and acceptable intervention for a clinical sample of women and partners. It is a feasible addition or alternative treatment option to perinatal mental health care. Future directions could involve more comprehensive randomised controlled trials (RCT) to examine the effectiveness of the group intervention.

The current study was designed to examine harmful alcohol use as a dyadic and interactive time-varying risk factor for psychological and physical IPV across the transition to parenthood using a sample of 98 couples assessed prenatally and again at one and two years postpartum. Longitudinal actor-partner interdependence models demonstrated that changes in harmful alcohol use during the transition to parenthood were significantly related to changes in psychological IPV for both men and women and with physical IPV for men only, whereas harmful alcohol use was actually negatively related to variations in women's physical IPV. Partners' harmful use of alcohol during the transition to parenthood also explained additional variance in psychological IPV for men and physical IPV for women over time. Time-varying interactions between actors' and partners' harmful alcohol use were additionally predictive of greater psychological IPV for women and greater physical IPV for both men and women. Contrary to some past research, time-varying discrepancies in levels of harmful alcohol use between men and women were related to a lower risk of psychological IPV for women and physical IPV for both genders. Findings from this study indicate that harmful alcohol use by both men and women combines in a dyadic and interactive manner to place couples at risk for IPV during the transition to parenthood. Prenatal interventions may benefit from strategies to reduce the harmful use of alcohol by both men and women during the prenatal and postpartum periods.

Aim To provide an overview of evidence on fathers' experiences and needs during their partners' pregnancies and childbirth to identify any gaps in the existing literature and practice. Methods An integrative literature review was performed to analyse and synthesize fathers' experiences and/or needs during pregnancy and/or childbirth based on articles published in CINAHL, Pub Med, Scopus, PsycINFO and Web of Science databases between the years 2002 and 2012. Only articles found in the National University of Singapore's online library collection were retrieved. Results Altogether, 25 studies (six quantitative and 19 qualitative studies) that reported fathers' experiences during pregnancy ( n = 8), childbirth ( n = 13) or during both periods ( n = 4) were reviewed. Fathers experienced mixed feelings both during pregnancy and childbirth. They required support from their partners and healthcare professionals and wanted to be informed, involved and respected. However, more studies are needed to explore this phenomenon in different cultural contexts or care models. Conclusion This review provides evidence for healthcare professionals to pay more attention to fathers when delivering perinatal care. Sociocultural-sensitive interventions should be developed to facilitate a smoother transition to fatherhood. Implications for nursing and health policy Father-specific information should be given to prepare fathers for pregnancy and childbirth. Healthcare professionals and policymakers should take fathers' feelings and concerns into consideration and provide family-centred care to the couple during the antenatal and intrapartum periods.

Research on first-time fathers' experiences with formal support, such as programmatic efforts like childbirth classes and family education, is limited. This qualitative study explores first-time fathers' experiences with formal support, using data from focus groups with fathers and women with whom they co-parent, as well as community consultations with professionals who serve expectant and new parents. The findings indicated there is value in and benefits from formal support and at the same time there are limits in the current forms available for men. Suggestions are made to expand and tailor first-time fathers' formal support opportunities.

AB - This paper examines nativity differences in adverse perinatal outcomes of Chinese-American mothers. Singleton live births to US-resident Chinese women (150,620 foreign-born, 15,040 US-born) and a random sample of 150,620 non-Hispanic White mothers were selected from 1995 to 2000 national linked birth/infant death certificate files. Associations between maternal nativity status and adverse perinatal outcomes were assessed using multivariable logistic regressions. Compared to US-born Chinese mothers, foreign-born Chinese mothers were less likely to be unmarried, teen mothers, have a non-Hispanic White or other race partner, be rural residents, and more likely to be less educated, or utilize prenatal care inadequately. Controlling for these factors, foreign-born Chinese-American mothers had significantly lower risks for low birth weight, preterm birth, and small-for-gestational age, whereas risks for infant mortality, neonatal mortality, and post-neonatal mortality did not differ significantly from those of infants of US-born Chinese mothers. Chinese Americans exhibited clear nativity differentials for adverse birth outcomes.

AB - Aim: the aim of this Western Australian study was to describe the overall labour and birth experience of partners within the context of an intrapartum transfer occurring from a low risk midwifery-led, woman-centred unit to an obstetric unit. Design: a descriptive phenomenological design was used. 15 male partners were interviewed in the first 8 weeks post partum between July and October, 2013 to explore their experience of the intrapartum transfer. Setting: a midwifery-led birth centre set on the grounds of a tertiary maternity referral hospital. Participants: partners of women who were transferred from the birth centre to the onsite tertiary hospital due to complications during the first and second stages of labour. Findings: five main themes emerged: (1) 'emotional roller coaster'; (2) 'partner's role in changing circumstances' with subthemes: 'acknowledgement for his inside knowledge of her' and 'challenges of being a witness'; (3) 'adapting to a changing model of care' with subthemes: 'moving from an inclusive nurturing and continuity model' and 'transferring to a medicalised model'; (4) 'adapting to environmental changes' with subthemes: 'feeling comfortable in the familiar birth centre', 'going to the place where things go wrong' and 'Back to comfortable familiarity afterwards' and (5) 'coming to terms with altered expectations around the labour and birth experience'. Key conclusions: partners acknowledged the benefits of midwifery continuity of care, however, noted that as partners they also provided essential continuity as they felt they knew their woman better than any care provider. Partners found it difficult to witness their woman's difficult labour journey. They found the change of environment from birth centre to labour ward challenging but appreciated that experienced medical assistance was at hand when necessary. Being able to return to the birth centre environment was acknowledged as beneficial for the couple. Following the transfer experience partners asked for the opportunity to debrief to clarify and better understand the process. Implications for practice: findings may be used to inform partners in childbirth education classes about what to expect when transfer takes place and offer the opportunity for them to debrief after the birth. Finally, themes can provide insight to maternity care professionals around the emotions experienced by partners during intrapartum transfer to enhance informed choice, involvement in care and empathetic support.

The present study aimed to characterize the risk knowledge of primiparous women of advanced age and their partners and to examine interindividual variability on risk knowledge depending on sociodemographic and reproductive characteristics. The study also examined the influence of one partner's risk knowledge on both partners' psychological distress. Methods The present study is part of an ongoing longitudinal project focusing on 2 timings of assessment: the prenatal diagnosis visit (time 1) and the third trimester of pregnancy (time 2). A total of 95 primiparous women of advanced age and their partners were consecutively recruited in a Portuguese referral urban hospital. Participants completed a questionnaire on knowledge of maternal age-related risks of childbearing at time 1 as well as the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 at time 2. Results Both partners showed incomplete risk knowledge, with the exception of the impact of maternal age on fertility, the probability to request medical help to conceive, and increased risk of Down syndrome. Women's risk knowledge did not vary depending on sociodemographic and reproductive characteristics. Male partners with prior infertility and medically assisted reproduction treatments reported higher risk knowledge. Higher risk knowledge in male partners increased psychological distress during pregnancy in both members of the couples. Discussion The findings indicated that first childbirth at advanced maternal age is rarely an informed reproductive decision, emphasizing the need to develop preventive interventions that may enhance couples' knowledge of maternal age-related risks. Given the influence of the risk knowledge of male partners on women's psychological distress, antenatal interventions should be couple-focused. Interventions should inform couples about maternal age-related risks, enhance their perceived control, and promote effective dyadic communication and coping strategies to address risk.

However, it remains unclear whether coparenting begins at or prior to a child's birth. This study tested whether expectant parents' behavior in the Prenatal Lausanne Trilogue Play procedure (PLTP), an assessment designed in Switzerland for examining prebirth coparenting behavior, forecasted postnatal observations of coparenting behavior in a sample of first-time parents in the United States. Participants were 182 dual-earner couples expecting their first child. Couples completed the PLTP in the third trimester of pregnancy and observations of coparenting behavior at 9-months postpartum. Structural equation modeling analyses indicated significant continuity between expectant parents' prenatal coparenting behavior and their observed postpartum coparenting behavior 1 year later. In particular, couples who engaged in higher quality prenatal coparenting behavior demonstrated more supportive and less undermining coparenting behavior at 9-months postpartum, even after controlling for observed prenatal couple behavior and self-reported couple relationship functioning. Thus, this study demonstrated the validity and utility of the PLTP as a window into the development of coparenting, and supported the notion that the coparenting relationship develops prior to the child's birth and is already distinct from the couple relationship.

This study aimed to assess the educational needs of men for their participation in PNC. This is a qualitative research study using focus group discussions. These were performed with eight groups of men and women in selected hospitals of Shahid Beheshti Medical Science University, Iran. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis methodology. The majority of participants gave the 'emotional support of women' as the most appropriate form of men's participation in PNC, and the 'long working hours of men' as the main barrier. The majority would prefer men's education to be about 'emotional support', 'physiological changes' and 'signs of risks' during pregnancy. The participants emphasized the need to consider couples' requirements when selecting the place, time and duration of education.

The purpose of this program evaluation was to identify and evaluate siblings' and grandparents' utilization of a hospital-based PBP's intergenerational support services and education offerings with regard to the entire family's coping with the loss. METHODS: Written program evaluation surveys of parents and grandparents, with an opportunity for free response, along with parent phone follow-up, were utilized to evaluate whether a variety of inpatient/outpatient services for parents, siblings, and grandparents were useful to the entire family. RESULTS: Parents indicated that when siblings and grandparents were included in the PBP's services and education offerings, utilization of the services was useful to the entire family. Furthermore, grandparents also found the utilization of the PBP's intergenerational services to be useful in their own and their child's coping with the loss. CONCLUSION: This program evaluation affirms the usefulness of the offering of intergenerational inpatient and outpatient services by PBPs for entire families.

Questions were asked about antenatal and postnatal services and about maternal expectations. The findings indicated that there were some areas for which parents did not feel well prepared and where care could be more focused.The needs that were identified included earlier antenatal classes with greater involvement from fathers and health visitors, opportunities to debrief about labour, more information on practical, emotional and relationship changes, and more opportunities for mothers to support each other.

DESIGN: Quasiexperimental study. METHOD: A nonrandomized convenience sample of treatment group (TG) couples (n = 35) who attended an additional prenatal three-class series was compared to a control group (CG) from childbirth education classes on measures of videotaped parent-child interaction using the NCATS tool. The intervention class series was based on individual and couple changes in meaning/identity, roles, and relationship/interaction during the transition to parenthood. It addressed mother/father roles, infant communication abilities, and patterns of the first 3 months of life in a mutually enjoyable, possibility-focused way. RESULTS: T-tests and ANCOVA on NCATS scores between groups showed higher TG scores for mothers in sensitivity to cues, for fathers in social-emotional growth fostering, and for couple mean scores in social-emotional growth fostering, couple mean response to child distress, caregiver total, and caregiver-child total. Higher contingency scores were also found in the TG group. Fewer TG mothers and fathers fell below NCATS lower cutoff scores. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Interventions that enhance mutual parent-child interaction through increased sensitivity to cues and responsiveness to infant needs or signals are important avenues for facilitating secure attachment, father and mother involvement, optimal development, and prevention of child abuse and neglect. The positive approach to this intervention invites couples to see themselves as developing with their infants over time, and to view their infants in new ways that will help develop satisfying, self-reinforcing patterns of interaction.

In Sweden, legislation allows fathers to share the parental leave equally with the mother even so fathers only use a small of their paid leave. The aim of the study was to explore experiences of the first year as a father. METHOD: A phenomenological life world approach was used. Ethical approval was obtained. Ten men, recruited by a purposive sample, were interviewed 12-14 months after the delivery of their first child. The data collection was performed during June and August 2004 in the south-west area of Sweden. FINDINGS: The essence of the experiences of the first year as father was to place the baby in the centre without giving up one's own person. The child provided warmth and happiness in the family and men experienced a deeper relationship to their partner. The contact between father and child was facilitated by engagement and time spent alone with the child. The major constituents identified from the findings were 'To be overwhelmed', 'To master the new situation' and 'To get a new completeness in life'. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: To master fatherhood maintenance of integrity and possibility to develop an independent relationship with the child is important. Fathers are invited to participate in postnatal childbirth education but the activities address women's needs and it is doubtful if the fathers benefit from participation. Though fathers entered the delivery room some decades ago, as a support to the woman, health personnel of today must be aware of fathers' own needs and the impact gender aspects have on their professional support.

Background Most of the research on male involvement in birth and child-rearing comes from Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian countries. These studies show a lower involvement of men in relation to women, even in countries with instruments to promote gender shared responsibility. The Spanish Ministry of Health has developed strategies to improve the male involvement in the public services of perinatal health to advance in gender equality. This is a suitable context to contribute to the lack of information about fatherhood and the gender inequalities in the Spanish context. Design Transversal design. Methods A questionnaire was administered to 150 fathers and 157 mothers residing in Granada, with at least one biological child aged 2 months to 3 years. Results A minority of the men attended the childbirth education whereas most of them attended pregnancy check-ups and were present at birth. Women spent more time with their children and took charge of tasks of child-rearing to a larger extent. The profile of an involved father is a man with a higher level of education, not married, his partner has a full-time employment, born in Spain and attended to the childbirth education classes. Conclusion This study shows gender inequalities in the reproductive field beyond the biological conditions. Relevance to clinical practice The challenge of the health services is to promote social change and identify areas for improvement to include the father figure in public services of perinatal health.

We have identified eight common labor support tasks and have photos demonstrating the improper and proper way of performing these tasks. Childbirth educators can help impart this knowledge to birth partners by weaving these guidelines throughout their childbirth preparation classes, while correctly modeling the safest way to perform these important tasks.

The new or expectant father's feelings and emotions are, however, often shaded by those of mothers. The purpose of the study was to determine the satisfaction of fathers with the information and support provided during prenatal classes and at childbirth, and their perception and acceptance of paternity. Methods: A descriptive research method was used in the study. The data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting of 43 statements. The survey was based on a non-probability snowball sampling method and included 46 men who had become fathers not more than two years prior to the study. The survey was conducted in May and June 2012. The data were processed with the Microsofet Excel 2010 programme Results: According to the study results, the parenting education classes satisfied the majority of fathers as to the information on the birth process (55%) and their role during childbirth (44%). In 92%, they attended the childbirth on their own volition. At birth, 46% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the medical staff support. A good half of the respondents (52.9%) reported that despite comprehensive psychological and physical preparation, their anxiety increased as the due date of childbirth was approaching. Discussion and conclusion: The research findings confirm that antenatal classes provide future fathers with appropriate information about the process of labour and birth and that birth attendance was largely based on the fathers' own volition. Even though medical staff offers all the necessary support, future fathers still experience fear and apprehension surrounding childbirth. The survey results are of great importance and benefit to all health professionals who encourage men's active involvement in pregnancy and the birth process.

A randomized controlled trial was designed to test the impact of involving male partners in antenatal health education on maternal health care utilization and birth preparedness in urban Nepal. In total, 442 women seeking antenatal services during second trimester of pregnancy were randomized into three groups: women who received education with their husbands, women who received education alone and women who received no education. The education intervention consisted of two 35-min health education sessions. Women were followed until after delivery. Women who received education with husbands were more likely to attend a post-partum visit than women who received education alone [RR = 1.25, 95% CI = (1.01, 1.54)] or no education [RR = 1.29, 95% CI = (1.04, 1.60)]. Women who received education with their husbands were also nearly twice as likely as control group women to report making >3 birth preparations [RR = 1.99, 95% CI = (1.10, 3.59)]. Study groups were similar with respect to attending the recommended number of antenatal care checkups, delivering in a health institution or having a skilled provider at birth. These data provide evidence that educating pregnant women and their male partners yields a greater net impact on maternal health behaviors compared with educating women alone.

Subject and methodSemi-structured interviews were conducted with six expectant first-time fathers, who attended small-group participative childbirth classes. Three interviews with each expectant father were conducted after the classes ended. Qualitative and descriptive analyses based on the phenomenological approach were used for four of six expectant fathers' interviews.ResultsThis study found that attending small group participative child birth classes meant to the expectant first-time fathers : (i) restructuring the perception of pregnancy and childbirth within themselves to tackle their own problems, (ii) satisfaction in the process of sharing their experience as a couple, (iii) building confidence in the process of becoming parents, and (iv) understanding the changes of their life after the birth of the children, which they couldn't consider before.ConclusionThe expectant first-time fathers who attended the childbirth classes shared their anxiety and problems with other participants who were in similar circumstances of impending childbirths. The expectant fathers listened to the experiences of those who already became parents, developed new ideas about pregnancy and childbirth and mentally prepared themselves for the birth. This was a collaborative work of couples that attended the childbirth classes who felt satisfied with the birth experiences. However, it is also concluded that the expectant fathers found themselves unprepared for the postnatal life, although they actively participated to the childbirth education classes.

However, most antenatal care interventions have been conducted in private specialist services in high-income countries and do not address the structural and cultural realities of developing country settings. We report on an exploratory qualitative study conducted in antenatal public health facilities in Harare, Zimbabwe, involving six in-depth interviews with midwives and seven FGDs with 64 pregnant and postpartum women. Recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic content analysis. We found that identifying and responding to IPV in antenatal care is hampered by inadequate human, financial and infrastructural resources as well as poor support of gender-based violence training for midwives. Midwives had divergent views of their role, with some perceiving IPV as a non-clinical, social and domestic problem that does not require their attention, while others who had been sensitised to the problem felt that it could easily overwhelm them. A comprehensive response to IPV by midwives would be difficult to achieve in this setting but sensitised midwives could respond to cues to violence and ultimately assist abused women in culturally sensitive and appropriate ways.

Journal of Advanced Nursing 69(4), 805-816. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2648.2012.06063.x Abstract Aim. To report a study of the effects of an antenatal family nursing intervention for emotionally distressed women and their partners. Background. High levels of depressive symptoms and anxiety are common in pregnant women, and their partners are likely to suffer from a higher degree of these symptoms than those of non-distressed women. Maternal anxiety and depressive symptoms influence the development of the foetus and child negatively. Distress-reducing interventions for couples are scarce. Design. The design was a pre- and post-test single group quasi-experiment. Methods. All women distressed during the last two trimesters of pregnancy were referred by midwives to a family nursing home-visiting service in a primary care setting in Iceland. They were invited to participate in the study from November 2007-September 2009. The final sample was 39 couples. Assessment of distress was through self-reporting of depressive symptoms and anxiety, self-esteem, and dyadic adjustment. The couple received four home visits that were guided by the Calgary Family Nursing Model. Results. Women experienced a higher degree of distress than men before the intervention. Couple's distress was interrelated, and improvement was significant on all indicators after the intervention. Conclusion. Healthcare professionals who care for distressed expectant women should attend to their partners' mental health status. The Calgary Family Nursing Model is an appropriate guide for nursing care of distressed prospective couples in a primary care setting.

Aging may augment developmental programming of chronic disease, but the mechanisms involved are not clear. We previously reported that female growth-restricted offspring are normotensive after puberty. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that age increases susceptibility to hypertension in female growth-restricted offspring. Blood pressure remained similar at 6 months of age; however, blood pressure was significantly elevated in female growth-restricted offspring relative to control by 12 months of age (137±3 vs 117±4 mm Hg; P<0.01, respectively). Body weight did not differ at 6 or 12 months of age; however, total fat mass and visceral fat were significantly increased at 12 months in female growth-restricted offspring (P<0.05 vs control). Glomerular filtration rate remained normal, yet renal vascular resistance was increased at 12 months of age in female growth-restricted offspring (P<0.05 vs control). Plasma leptin, which can increase sympathetic nerve activity, did not differ at 6 months but was increased at 12 months of age in female growth-restricted offspring (P<0.05 vs control). Because of the age-dependent increase in leptin, we hypothesized that the renal nerves may contribute to the age-dependent increase in blood pressure. Bilateral renal denervation abolished the elevated blood pressure in female growth-restricted offspring normalizing it relative to denervated female control offspring. Thus, these data indicate that age induces an increase in visceral fat and circulating leptin associated with a significant increase in blood pressure in female growth-restricted offspring, with the renal nerves serving as an underlying mechanism.

The purpose of this research was to identify what types of information expectant parents want to make a decision about the use of their babies' residual dried blood specimens for research. Design and Methods. Three focus groups were conducted with pregnant women and their partners and one focus group with prenatal healthcare providers and educators. Results. Eleven categories of information needs were identified within each focus group. Practice Implications. Providing sufficient information for parents to make informed choices will be essential to future research with residual dried blood specimens and to maintain public trust with the growing applications of this important public health program.

The likelihood of PMTCT success may be linked to partner support, yet male involvement in antenatal care remains low. This qualitative study examined the influence of pregnant couples' expectations, experiences and perceptions on sexual communication and male involvement in PMTCT. A total of 119 couples participated in a comprehensive intervention in 12 antenatal clinics throughout South Africa. Data were collected between December 2010 to June 2011 and analysed using a grounded theory approach. Findings point to the importance of sexual communication as a factor influencing PMTCT male involvement. Analysis of themes lends support to improving communication between couples, encouraging dialogue among men and increasing male involvement in PMTCT to bridge the gap between knowledge and sexual behaviour change.

The purpose of this study was to investigate depressive symptoms and associations with paternal age, sociodemographic characteristics, and antenatal psychological well-being in Swedish first-time fathers. Methods Depressive symptoms, defined as scores of 11 or greater on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, were investigated in 812 men 3 months after their first baby was born. The study sample included primarily Swedish-born, married or cohabiting men who participated in antenatal education classes during the partner's pregnancy. Results In all, 10.3 percent of study men suffered from depressive symptoms. Compared with fathers aged 29-33 years (sample mean age ± 2 yr), the younger fathers had an increased risk for depressive symptoms ( OR 2.55; 95% CI 1.50-4.35). Low educational level, low income, poor partner relationship quality, and financial worry increased the risk for depressive symptoms, but these factors could not explain the increased risk among the young. Conclusions New fathers in their twenties seem to have an increased risk for depressive symptoms that cannot be explained solely by socioeconomic factors. Support should be offered to new fathers with particular focus on the young.

The authors reviewed pediatric medical records for history of an ADHD diagnosis, and parents reported ADHD medication use. The authors analyzed risk factors in relationship to outcomes using multivariable regression models.Results: Low paternal education, prenatal smoking, prenatal illicit drug use, maternal depression, and low Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment score were associated with greater risk for ADHD behaviors assessed via rating scale. Low income and being male were associated with ADHD diagnosis in medical records and ADHD medication use.Conclusion: The authors found associations between socioeconomic, psychosocial, and prenatal exposures and ADHD-related behavior. Selection bias due to access to care and recall bias from inaccurate report of past exposures is minimized in this large, nonclinical, prospective cohort study.

Several studies have suggested that male partners' positive experiences at this time may benefit partner and family relationships subsequently, whereas negative experiences may translate into later difficulties in these relationships. This study explored the perceptions of male partners involved in the birthing experience in the Integrated Women's Health Unit of Cairns Base Hospital, Cairns, Australia, over a 6-month period in 2010. The aims of the study were to document male partners' self-reported perceptions of their antenatal, labor, and birth experiences and birth expectations and birth involvement and to determine whether these perceptions influenced their feelings that their presence during birth was beneficial to the birthing woman. Methods: Participants were men experiencing for the first time their partner giving birth. A self-administered 14-item questionnaire was used to collect data; 163 of 200 eligible participants returned completed questionnaires. Continuous variables were converted to categorical variables and chi-square testing was used to determine significant differences between groups. The relationship between beneficial presence and antenatal, labor, and birthing experiences was assessed using correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: There was a significant relationship demonstrated between perceived benefit of the partners' presence and positive perception of both antenatal experience and birth involvement. There also was a positive relationship between realized birth expectations and both antenatal experience and birth involvement. Discussion: This study suggests that male partners' perceptions of beneficial presence during the birth experience can be enhanced by their feeling well informed and supported during the antenatal period and feeling involved and supported by staff during birth. These findings have implications for the provision of information and support to male partners by midwives and childbirth educators and provide the basis for further research in this area.

The current study aimed to explore the long-term effects of childbirth-related PTSD on women, their relationship with their partner and their relationship with their child. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six women who reported clinically significant PTSD after birth, ranging from 7 months to 18 years beforehand. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Childbirth-related PTSD was found to have wide-ranging effects on women and their relationships. Women reported changes in physical well-being, mood and behaviour, social interaction, and fear of childbirth. Women reported negative effects on their relationship with their partner, including sexual dysfunction, disagreements and blame for events of birth. The motherA â'A baby bond was also seriously affected. Nearly all women reported initial feelings of rejection towards the baby but this changed over time. Long-term, women seemed to have either avoidant or anxious attachments with their child. It is concluded that childbirth-related PTSD can have severe and lasting effects on women and their relationships with their partner and children. Further research is needed to compare this to normal difficulties experienced by women after having children.

AB - Participant attrition is a major influence on the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions. Assessing predictors of participant attrition and nurse and site characteristics associated with it could lay a foundation for increasing retention and engagement. We examined this issue in the national expansion of the Nurse-Family Partnership, an evidence-based program of prenatal and infancy home visiting for low-income, first-time mothers, their children, and families. Using a mixed methods approach, we examined participant, nurse, and site predictors of participant attrition and completed home visits. We used mixed multivariate regression models to identify participant, nurse, program, and site predictors of addressable attrition and completed home visits during pregnancy and the first year of the child's life for 10,367 participants at 66 implementation sites. We then conducted semi-structured interviews with nurse home visitors and supervisors at selected sites with the highest (N = 5 sites) and lowest (N = 6 sites) rates of participant addressable attrition and employed qualitative methods to synthesize themes that emerged in nurses' descriptions of the strategies they used to retain participants. Mothers who were younger, unmarried, African American, and visited by nurses who ceased employment had higher rates of attrition and fewer home visits. Hispanic mothers, those living with partners, and those employed at registration had lower rates of attrition. Those who were living with partners and employed had more home visits. Nurses in high retention sites adapted the program to their clients' needs, were less directive, and more collaborative with them. Increasing nurses' flexibility in adapting this structured, evidence-based program to families' needs may increase participant retention and completed home visits.

Men were excluded from events related to reproduction and children's education. Childbirth was a domestic ritual attended by midwives. Its transfer to the hospital placed the woman as protagonist in the process of giving birth, and nowadays the doctor is the central actor. The objective of the study was to analyze the process of the father's exclusion from his child's birth from the perspective of power in the context of the medicalization of childbirth. It was a systematic literature review analyzing 16 texts concerning the period from 2000 to 2010. The texts were classified according to the thematic nucleus: relationship of the man's power over the woman, transition of childbirth from home to hospital, father's exclusion from the hospital environment, medical dominance over the feminine body and the father's (re)insertion in the childbirth process. It was concluded that a man's reinsertion into the process of his child's birth is not a reality, despite being promoted by the Brazilian Health Ministry. It is necessary that health professionals and services become aware of the importance and benefits of this attitude for the humanization of childbirth. SN - 0874-0283 AD - Enfermeira.

Children underwent a neuropsychological battery and testing for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and parents reported on their child's behavior, development, and seizures.Results: Of the children, 28% of boys and 21% of girls exhibited moderate to severe impairment on summary measures of cognitive abilities. Boys had a higher prevalence of impairment than girls in nearly all measures of cognition, were more than twice as likely to have microcephaly (15% in boys, 8% in girls), and require more often assistive devices to ambulate (6% in boys, 4% in girls). In contrast, boys and girls had comparable risk for a history of seizure (identified in 10% of the cohort) or epilepsy (identified in 7% of the cohort). The boy-to-girl ratio of ASD (9% in boys, 5% in girls) was lower than expected compared with the overall US autism population.Conclusions: In this contemporary cohort of children born extremely premature and evaluated at school age, boys had higher prevalence of cognitive, neurologic, and behavioral deficits than girls. The ratio of boys to girls among those with ASD deserves further study as does the perinatal environmental-genetic interactions that might contribute to male preponderance of deficits in this high-risk sample.

The development challenges indicated in earlier studies on childbirth education served as a starting point for the development process. Childbirth education was examined as a teaching-learning process and its theoretical framework was provided by constructivism. The data were collected from six couples, who participated in the implementation of childbirth education by theme interviews (n=12). The data were analysed by inductive content analysis. According to the results, the education provided a broad perspective on childbirth environment to the couples. Moreover, it offered a possibility for preparing for the birth mentally and by gaining knowledge. In the couples' view, the client-oriented approach supported participation in the education. The use of participant based learning conveyed both positive and negative views. In sum, the hospital and delivery room setting was regarded as an excellent education and learning environment.

Is there a way to enhance preparation by having men participate in an additional class lead by a male obstetrician? In a randomized prospective trial men who took part in preparation classes together with their partner were separated into two groups. The men in the intervention group were given additional training without their partners to prepare them for the delivery room. The men in the control group were not given extra training and only attented the preparation course with their partners. Data were collected at the end of the course and three months after birth by questionnaire. In the intervention group the participants felt better prepared and judged the experience of birth more positively. The training lead to an intensified feeling of having helped their partner adequately during birth. The women whose partners had attended the training felt that the support of their partners was much better, compared with the control group. Special classes for men enhanced the contentment of both partners at birth.

Participants were first-time expectant parents living in low and middle-income areas. After a formative study on the roles of various family members in health during the period surrounding a first birth, an antenatal-clinic-based education programme for women and for couples was carried out as a randomised, controlled study. Based on the results, separate community-based antenatal education programmes for expectant mothers and expectant fathers were tested. There was demand among many pregnant women and some of their husbands for including expectant fathers in antenatal education. In the short term, these programmes seemed to have positive effects on women and men's reproductive health knowledge, attitudes and behaviours. In the clinic-based programme the positive effects of including men were mainly in the area of post-partum family planning, while in the community-based programme positive effects among men were also seen in the areas of infant health, infant feeding and spousal communication and support. Free antenatal education should be made available to all expectant mothers and when possible, men should be included, either together with their wives or in a culture such as that of Turkey, in separate groups.

For convenience sampling, 200 couples willing to participate in this study were chosen from two hospitals in central Taiwan. Inclusion criteria were at least 36 weeks of gestation, aged 18 and above, no prenatal complications, and willing to consent to participate in this study. Instruments used to collect data included basic demographic data and the Childbirth Expectations Questionnaire. Findings of the study revealed that (1) five factors were identified by expectant parents regarding childbirth expectations including the caregiving environment, expectation of labor pain, spousal support, control and participation, and medical and nursing support; (2) no general differences were identified in the childbirth expectations between expectant fathers and expectant mothers; and (3) expectant fathers with a higher socioeconomic status and who had received prenatal (childbirth) education had higher childbirth expectations, whereas mothers displayed no differences in demographic characteristics. The study results may help clinical healthcare providers better understand differences in expectations during labor and birth and childbirth expectations by expectant parents in order to improve the medical and nursing system and promote positive childbirth experiences and satisfaction for expectant parents.

To describe the pattern of use of the Internet as a source of health information by participants of antenatal classes. Background. There is a lack of information about the frequency of Internet use amongst expectant mothers and fathers who attend antenatal classes. Design. A cross-sectional descriptive study. Methods. Women ( n = 114) and men ( n = 21) were recruited. Data were collected anonymously using a self-administered questionnaire, containing questions about Internet use, the frequency of that use, sources of information about pregnancy, preference over other non-Internet sources, positive and negative feelings generated due to the use of the Internet and willingness to receive instructions on Internet use. Results. The average age of participants was 31·4 (SD 6·1) and their stage of pregnancy ranged from 24-38 weeks. 83·5% were expecting their first child. 93·5% reported that they used the Internet on a regular basis and no significant difference was found between men and women. Amongst Internet users, 97·7% sought, at some point, information on pregnancy on the Internet and 26·9% had done so in the last 24 hours. The Internet was the most popular source of information on pregnancy topics (18·5% of women and 25·8% of men used it as their primary source of information) after a physician. Commercial websites were more frequently used by people looking for information on pregnancy than sites maintained by not-for-profit organisations or professional unions. Conclusions. The Internet is widely used as a source of information amongst participants of antenatal classes, both male and female. Approximately 95% have used it at some point to find information during pregnancy, but the majority (approximately 90%) had no knowledge of websites run by not-for-profit organisations and preferred commercial websites. Relevance to clinical practice. Instead of disregarding the use of the Internet as a source of information during pregnancy, midwives should keep up to date and give their patients links to high-quality sites.

Fathers' state of mind during early labour is explored. Anxiety levels are found to be high, particularly in regard to the wellbeing of their partners and babies. Attending antenatal classes does not appear to diminish anxiety and often, nor does speaking to a midwife in early labour. These results require cautious interpretation but also suggest that men need better preparation for their role in supporting mothers during labour.

To explore the experiences of prospective adolescent fathers regarding their impending fatherhood. Background. Several studies indicate adolescent fatherhood is associated with multiple risk factors. Despite this, it is well documented that these young males have a potentially vital role in the lives of their child/ren and partners. Adolescent pregnancy has often been viewed with a particular emphasis on the mother and relatively little is known about the experiences and expectations of young males facing imminent fatherhood. Design. Narrative methods were used to collect qualitative data. Method. Narratives were elicited through in-depth interviews with seven adolescent expectant fathers aged 16-22 years. Results. Impending fatherhood presented these young men with mixed emotions and many challenges. The pregnancies were all unplanned and though participants were all willing to face the responsibilities associated with fatherhood, they also reported feeling ill-prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. Impending fatherhood had caused the young men to reflect on the quality of fathering they had received themselves. The young men were hoping to provide their own infant with a better quality of fathering than they had experienced. Conclusions. Nurses and midwives are ideally placed to provide support to young men facing impending fatherhood to better prepare them to meet the demands of their forthcoming role. Relevance to clinical practice. Prenatal classes should include specific sessions for prospective fathers and provide opportunities to assist young men to discuss their thoughts and concerns about impending fatherhood. It could also be useful to encourage young expectant fathers to engage in discussions with their own fathers and grandfathers. For those young men who do not have effective relationships with their own fathers, it could be useful to organise mentoring with experienced mature men who have successfully engaged in the fatherhood role.

In Israel, prenatal classes are offered to pregnant women in their third trimester from all cultures and sectors. However, Israeli Muslim Arab women often do not attend these classes. Aim To explore factors influencing the intention of Muslim Arab women in Israel to attend prenatal classes, using the Theory of Planned Behavior. Methods The study was a cross-sectional quantitative correlational design. A convenience sample consisting of 200 Arab Muslim women completed a questionnaire based on the literature review and the theoretical model. Findings The research findings indicate that women's intention to attend prenatal classes increases with more positive beliefs and attitudes toward prenatal education, greater subjective social pressure to attend classes, and with higher perceived control of attending such classes. The higher a woman's age and level of education, the greater her intention to attend classes. This study shows that the spouse is the most significant factor influencing women's decisions on this matter. Conclusion In order to raise the intentions of Muslim Arab women in Israel to attend prenatal classes, policy makers must design programs to increase the awareness of prenatal education among both women and men in the Muslim Arab sector, emphasizing its benefits for mothers, infants, and families as a whole. Classes should reflect the uniqueness of Israeli Muslim Arab culture and combine traditional and modern outlooks.

Respondents were recruited via the Fatherhood Institute website and by contacting children's centres. Two hundred and sixty three men from diverse backgrounds responded. Approximately two fifths had found that early labour matched up to their expectations, but many fathers had been greatly or somewhat surprised by what happened. In terms of deciding when to leave home and go to the hospital or birth centre, fathers did not generally see themselves as the primary decision makers, but half had been either primarily orjointly responsible for the decision. There is therefore a strong case for ensuring that expectant fathers are given information when attending clinics or antenatal classes with their partners to help them understand the latent phase of labour and signs of established labour.

AB - Context: As the AIDS epidemic continues to spread in Sub-Saharan Africa, increasing numbers of women of childbearing age and their partners have become infected with HIV. Family planning programs potentially can reduce perinatal and heterosexual transmission, but effective programmatic strategies depend on how HIV and AIDS influence reproductive decision-making.Methods: In 1997, eight focus groups and 23 in-depth interviews were conducted among women and men in Ndola, Zambia, an area with a high prevalence of HIV and AIDS. Coded transcripts and summary matrices permitted substantive themes to be analyzed by gender of study participants.Results: In the absence of signs or symptoms of illness, HIV's impact on women's and men's childbearing and contraceptive use decisions is generally weak. One important exception is the study participants' observation of the burden of caring for children whose parents have died of AIDS. However, when signs or symptoms of the illness are present, both women and men are overwhelmingly against continued childbearing and support the use of condoms to prevent transmission of the disease to a spouse. Many women said they would fear getting pregnant if they suspected they were HIV positive because pregnancy would 'bring out' the disease, and some women said that before having another child they would consider taking an HIV test.Conclusions: Family planning programs could help clients ascertain their own risk of infection and thus reduce perinatal transmission of HIV by frankly discussing risk factors, offering HIV testing and assisting couples affected by HIV make better choices about contraceptive methods.

AB - OBJECTIVE: to investigate the attendance rate at childbirth and parenthood education classes during pregnancy in a national Swedish sample and describe the characteristics of women who did not attend. DESIGN: a cohort study utilising a postal questionnaire in early pregnancy and at 2 months after birth. SETTING: women were recruited from 97% of all antenatal clinics in Sweden at their first 'booking' visit during three different weeks spread over 1 year in 1999-2000. PARTICIPANTS: 2546 women, who were 77% of those who consented to participate in the study and 55% of all women eligible for the study. MEASUREMENT AND FINDINGS: most primiparous women (93%) attended classes and the majority of the multiparae (81%) did not. Having a native language other than Swedish was associated with non-attendance in both primiparae and multiparae (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.3-5.4; OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.4-3.1). In addition, the following factors were associated with non-attendance in the primiparae: unemployment (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.1-3.8), smoking during pregnancy (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.2-5.8), having considered abortion (OR 4.3, 95% CI 1.2-16.1), and having had few antenatal check-ups (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.1-3.7). The following factors were associated with non-attendance in the multiparae: age older than 35 years (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1-2.3), low level of education (OR 3.6, 95% CI 2.3-5.7), and pregnancy unplanned but welcome (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1-2.0), having had counselling because of fear of childbirth (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1-2.4), and expressing a need of such counselling (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1-3.1). KEY CONCLUSIONS: the childbirth and parenthood education programme reached the majority of pregnant women, and that non-attendees were more disadvantaged in terms of socio-demographic background and feelings about the approaching birth. These women should be given special attention during the antenatal check-ups so that childbirth and parenthood education could be adapted to their specific needs.

AB - Purpose for the Program The purpose of this poster presentation is to review and evaluate a peer parent program for perinatal bereavement based at a mid-sized hospital in the Midwest. Support following a pregnancy loss can be found in many different ways. Although peer support groups have been well documented over the past decade as an effective means of helping people get through difficult periods, peer support programs have been less formally utilized and evaluated. Proposed Change To provide an effective model from which other hospitals and support programs can develop peer support programs for patients who have experienced pregnancy loss and/or a neonatal demise. Focus groups (completed by peer parents) and brief program evaluation surveys (completed by the peer parents and the parents receiving support) were used to document participants' perceptions of the program. Data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis of demographic data and feedback received from the surveys and focus groups. Implementation, Outcomes, and Evaluation The program has been active since 2010. During this time, a total of 15 women and one man have been trained as peer parents; 17 women have been assigned to peer parents. For the peer parents, the most rewarding aspect of being involved in the program was giving back by helping others with similar experiences; conversely, the most difficult part was related to logistics (e.g., handling unreciprocated contact). The parents who received support found it was helpful to talk with someone with a similar experience; however, others reported that it was difficult to accept support if they were not emotionally ready. Implications for Nursing Practice Hospitals and organizations that support parents dealing with perinatal loss should consider including peer support programs. Although some organizations may develop such programs informally, we determined parents found benefit in a more formalized training to gain confidence in their therapeutic abilities and to further develop their own support and sense of community. As a whole, the parents providing support and those receiving support found the program to be helpful toward their healing. Such programs offer a much needed one-on-one approach to care that provides grieving parents with a normalizing experience.

AB - Prenatally depressed women (N=47) were randomly assigned to a group that received massage twice weekly from their partners from 20 weeks gestation until the end of pregnancy or a control group. Self-reported leg pain, back pain, depression, anxiety and anger decreased more for the massaged pregnant women than for the control group women. In addition, the partners who massaged the pregnant women versus the control group partners reported less depressed mood, anxiety and anger across the course of the massage therapy period. Finally, scores on a relationship questionnaire improved more for both the women and the partners in the massage group. These data suggest that not only mood states but also relationships improve mutually when depressed pregnant women are massaged by their partners.

Participants included 106 married couples, 58 (55%) who attended prenatal childbirth education classes and 48 (45%) who did not. The study variables included prenatal, intrapartal, and new parent experiences. All mothers and fathers completed questionnaires during the last trimester of pregnancy and one month after delivery of a healthy newborn. Fathers were present during labor and birth regardless of prenatal class attendance. The groups differed in maternal age and in maternal and paternal education levels, but did not differ in measures of prenatal attachment, paternal childbirth involvement, childbirth satisfaction, parenting sense of competence, and ease of transition to parenthood. The results suggest the need for further study of the influence of prenatal classes on becoming a new parent, and of the effects of the father's presence during childbirth on birth and new parent experiences.

AB - Limited research exists concerning male partners' participation in prenatal genetic counseling (R. Kenen, A. C. M. Smith, C. Watkins, & C. Zuber-Pitore, J. Genet Corns 9, 33-45, 2000). To further understand paternal participation, we interviewed 17 experienced prenatal genetic counselors to assess their perspectives on this issue. We investigated 6 research questions: 1) How do genetic counselors define paternal involvement, 2) how do they determine and address problematic involvement, 3) what factors influence involvement, 4) was paternal involvement addressed in training, 5) how might training be improved, and 6) how do participant strategies for addressing involvement compare to those of marriage/family therapists? Qualitative analysis revealed that 1) participants regard paternal involvement asimportant; 2) most address problematic involvement with strategies similar to those of marital/family therapists; 3) influential factors include male partner's characteristics, the couple's relationship (including culturalpractices), and pregnancy factors; and 4) participants received little or notraining on paternal involvement and recommended didactic and experientialactivities. Implications and research recommendations are presented.

Aims (1) To report the longitudinal patterns of depression from the third trimester of pregnancy to 1 year after childbirth; (2) to determine the gender differences between women and their partners in the effect of psychosocial and personal factors on postpartum depression. Methods A longitudinal cohort study was carried out over a consecutive sample of 769 women in their third trimester of pregnancy and their partners attending the prenatal programme in the Valencian Community (Spain) and follow-up at 3 and 12 months post partum. The outcome variable was the presence of depression at 3 or 12 months post partum measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Predictor variables were: psychosocial (marital dissatisfaction, confidant and affective social support) and personal (history of depression, partner's depression and negative life events, depression during the third trimester of pregnancy) variables. Logistic regression models were fitted via generalised estimating equations. Results At 3 and 12 months post partum, 9.3% and 4.4% of mothers and 3.4% and 4.0% of fathers, respectively, were newly diagnosed as having depression. Low marital satisfaction, partner's depression and depression during pregnancy increased the probability of depression during the first 12 months after birth in mothers and fathers. Negative life events increased the risk of depression only among mothers. Conclusions Psychosocial and personal factors were strong predictors of depression during the first 12 months post partum for both mothers and fathers.

Although the transition to motherhood and postnatal depression has been extensively studied, few studies compared maternal and paternal psychological health during the postnatal period. A cross-sectional design was used. A total of 376 pairs of new parents participated in this study. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale were used to measure depression, perceived stress and social support, respectively. We performed paired t-test and multiple regression to analyse the data. No significant difference in the prevalence of postnatal depression was found between the new mothers and fathers (14·9 vs. 12·5%). Fathers experienced similar stress levels as mothers did, while they received lower level of social support than mothers. Perceived stress, social support and partner's Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score were significantly associated with depression for both mothers and fathers. Less sleeping time of infant and a tense relationship between mothers and mother-in-law were related to mothers' depression. The preference for a male baby was associated with fathers' depression. Both new mothers and fathers experienced postnatal depression in China. Clinical nurses should pay attention to psychological health among new parents during postnatal period. Perinatal services, such as antenatal and postnatal education and counselling, should also be provided for fathers.

Our objectives were to address this gap and examine cultural associations and beliefs concerning infant feeding practices among men. Five focus groups were conducted with low-income men ( n = 28) living in areas of social deprivation in Leeds, northeast of England, and low-income areas of Glasgow, west of Scotland. Participants were white British men, aged between 16 and 45 years, and included fathers, expectant fathers, and potential fathers. Overarching themes concerning sexuality, embarrassment, and social conduct were identified across all groups. Participants perceived breastfeeding as 'natural' but problematic, whereas formula feeding was mainly considered as convenient and safe. Participants without direct experience of breastfeeding assumed that it involved excessive public exposure and attracted unwanted male attention. Underpinning these fears were strong cultural associations between breasts and sexuality and anxieties concerning appropriate gender roles. In some communities few opportunities may occur to witness breastfeeding, and thus existing fears concerning the activity as attracting predatory male attention remain unchallenged. Perceptions of breastfeeding as a sexual activity and the dominant mass media emphasis on breasts as a sexual site may present additional obstacles to breastfeeding. Antenatal or perinatal education with men should address not only practical issues but also provide advice on tackling problems generated by wider sociocultural issues of sexuality and masculinity.

AB - Background. Emerging evidence suggests that many men want to be more involved in their partner's pregnancy, and feel unprepared for parenting. Such preparation may be attempted during antenatal education (Parentcraft) sessions.Aims. This innovation in practice was designed to test the feasibility of involving a male facilitator in existing Parentcraft sessions. Methods. Parentcraft sessions in two cities were either run as usual or with a male facilitator. The groups with a male facilitator were split along gender lines for part of the session; discussion was group-directed. Parents-to-be completed a short evaluation form antenatally; some also did so postnatally. Interviews with male facilitators and midwives assessed the value of the project. Results. Men and women who attended sessions where there was a male facilitator reported favourably on this innovation in practice. This appeared to be less to do with the information transmitted as with the opportunity for discussion. Opinion among midwives was divided over the merits of this development, although both men and women were reported to talk more freely in single-sex groups. Experience in group facilitation is an important factor.Limitations. This innovation in practice was restricted to two cities whose populations are not ethnically diverse. Those attending antenatal education sessions are not representative of all parents-to-be. Local circumstances meant that two versions of the innovation were introduced.Conclusions. Male facilitation offers one way of involving men in existing antenatal sessions and helping to guide them toward a greater understanding of the father's role. Most of those who experienced the innovation evaluated it well. This innovation appears to produce some benefit, but considerable work still needs to be done to assess the most effective means of provision.

AB - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research was to investigate whether the use of father-focused perinatal classes with an emphasis on teaching coping skills to relieve psychological stress and on increasing social network support also would positively influence spousal relations during pregnancy. The research hypotheses were that expectant fathers who participated in a father-focused discussion group would differ from fathers attending traditional childbirth classes. DESIGN: Quasi-experimental. SETTING: Chfldbirth education classes at a local college. POPULATION: All couples enrolled in childbirth education classes at the local technical college during a 4-month period were invited to participate. Eighty three couples (78%) completed the study, 40 couples in the five sections of traditional classes and 43 in the six sections of experimental classes. The men averaged 28 years of age (range 19-39). INTERVENTIONS: The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) was used to measure stress as evidenced by psychological symptom status. The Coping Measure Scale (CMS) was used to measure use of coping strategies. The Social Network Support Scale (SNSS), also used, identifies members of a social network who most affect people by shaping their attitudes and behavior and by influencing their well-being. The Supportive Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) was used to measure supportive spousal behaviors exhibited by expectant fathers. The Conflicts Tactics Scale (CTS) was used to measure couple-conflict behavior. Data collection took place during the first and last sessions of the 8-week childbirth education class. Traditional classes were taught to both partners using the standard 8-week curriculum. The experimental curriculum consisted of the same content regarding pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting taught in the traditional classes, but used a group discussion format. Teachers directed questions and comments to the fathers to motivate involvement and communication of feelings and caring. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The results showed that fathers in the father-focused classes had a greater decrease in psychological symptoms than men in the traditional classes. The hypothesis that men who participated in father-focused classes would increase their overall use of coding styles was supported partially. Fathers in the father-focused classes also showed significantly greater improvement in spousal relationships than those in traditional classes. There were no significant differences on the other scales, but the men in the father-focused group increased more than the men in the traditional group on all strategies explicitly taught in the father-focused classes. Both groups increased from pre- to post-test in the use of social support as a means of coding, but this increase was greater for men in the father-focused group. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: The strengths of this study lie in its quasi-experimental design and the use of fathers' reports of the male attitudes and behavior. There were several limitations. Participants could not be randomly assigned to groups and phase-lag design poses historical threats to validity. Conclusions need to be tempered because of group differences. Further refinement of the SNSS and SPQ is needed. If we affirm a family-centered philosophy, perinatal education should include consideration for fathers along with the traditional attention to expectant mothers.

Providing effective support to parents who are opioid dependent, through early intervention, access to drug treatment and parenting skills training, is a priority. However, little is known about opioid dependent parents' experiences and understanding of parenting support during the antenatal and postnatal periods. This paper focuses on the position and impact of opioid substitution therapy (OST) in the accounts of parents who were expecting, or who had recently had, a baby in the UK. METHODS: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were held with a purposive sample of 19 opioid dependent service users (14 female, 5 male). Longitudinal data was collected across the antenatal and postnatal (up to 1 year) periods, with participants interviewed up to three times. Forty-five interviews were analysed thematically, using a constant comparison method, underpinned by a sociologically informed narrative approach. RESULTS: Participants' accounts of drug treatment were clearly oriented towards demonstrating that they were doing 'the best thing' for their baby. For some, OST was framed as a route to what was seen as a 'normal' family life; for others, OST was a barrier to such normality. Challenges related to: the physiological effects of opioid dependence; structural constraints associated with treatment regimes; and the impact of negative societal views about drug-using parents. CONCLUSION: Parents' accounts of OST can be seen as a response to socio-cultural ideals of a 'good', drug-free parent. Reflecting the liminal position parents engaged in OST found themselves in, their narratives entailed reconciling their status as a 'drug-using parent' with a view of an 'ideal parent' who was abstinent.

Fathers' state of mind during early labour is explored. Anxiety levels are found to be high, particularly in regard to the wellbeing of their partners and babies. Attending antenatal classes does not appear to diminish anxiety and nor does speaking to a midwife in early labour. These results require cautious interpretation but also suggest that men need better preparation for their role in supporting mothers during labour. SN - 1461-3123 AD - University of Worcester.

Cranmer and C. Lajkowicz (1989) faced the challenge of securing student clinical experiences with healthy prenatal clients. They identified that lack of access to pregnant women, limited number of faculty, and large numbers of students contributed to problems in meeting select course objectives. Little has changed since then. This article describes a clinical experience, known as 'Prenatal Showers,' where undergraduate nursing students, implementing the teacher role, provide community-based prenatal education in the context of a baby shower. Student groups address educational topics identified by community partners. After student presentations, feedback from prenatal clients is analyzed. Lessons learned include selecting appropriate community partners, clearly articulating academic and community needs, and obtaining seed money to initiate the program. Prenatal Showers are most successful when community partners possess open lines of communication, an accessible population, an appreciation for the contributions made by students, and a willingness to share responsibility for their supervision. Prenatal Showers offer different advantages from traditional maternal-child clinical experiences because students gain experiences with prenatal clients from diverse backgrounds and engage in community-based nursing. The community benefits because educational needs of prenatal clients are met. Strong community partnerships benefit faculty by making clinical placements more accessible and reducing faculty workload. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.

AB - The purpose of the study was to describe the childbirth experience of fathers and nursing interventions used during labour and delivery. The data were collected by questionnaires from fathers attending delivery room during one month (n = 137). Five fathers refused to participate. The return rate was 81% out of 132 fathers. Data analysis included cross tabulations, factor analysis as well as content analysis for open ended questions. Nursing interventions which fathers found supportive were infant care, getting information and attention from the staff. Most of the respondents felt they got encouragement to take care of the infant. They also got information of the delivery and newborn's welfare. However, about half felt they got little encouragement to show their own feelings. Fathers found that being present at the delivery was an important part of their fatherhood. The best moments were attached to enjoyment of taking care of the newborn. Fathers felt themselves unable to help their partner enough. They felt very difficult to see their partner in pain. Most of the father were quite satisfied with nursing interventions used during labour. They wanted more attention to be paid to pain management. Fathers would like to get more advice during labour.

PARTICIPANTS: 23 primigravidae who were booked for induction: 18 were induced (induction group) and 5 went into spontaneous labour (comparison group). METHOD: Data were collected by a series of interviews from booking to after birthing: interpretative techniques analysed verbatim transcriptions. FINDINGS: Two dimensions of being in the process of induction were identified: (1) a sense of 'Time's Up,' when the natural, temporal aspects of pregnancy end with an imposed birth date and sequenced induction procedures and, (2) a required 'Shift in Expectations' from the women's original plan for labour and birth. The women varied in their responses from welcoming the end of pregnancy to feeling that their body or their baby was not ready for birth. A lack of meaningful information regarding the process of induction was also identified. The comparison group focused their worry on the impact of induction on the baby whereas the induction group expressed concern about the effect on themselves and loss of a natural birth. Worries in both groups were dissipated by successfully birthing a healthy baby. IMPLICATIONS AND OUTCOMES: The findings sensitise midwives to women's possible responses to being booked for induction. Antenatal educators can use this knowledge to prepare women and their partners for required shifts in their birthing plan when induction is deemed necessary. Midwives can help women adapt their birth plans during the induction process.

At the first antenatal visit, women in the intervention group (n = 110) were given a demonstration of the immediate effects of smoking on foetal heart rate, brief smoking cessation advice and smoking cessation booklets for themselves and their partners; at delivery, they were given brief advice and a booklet about postpartum cessation. Compared with an historical control group who received usual care (n = 110) and assuming those lost to follow-up continued to smoke, biochemically-verified maternal cessation sustained from at least 24 weeks gestation to late pregnancy was 6.4% in the intervention group and 1.8% in the comparison group. However, there was no difference between maternal quit rates at six months postpartum. Partners were more likely to try to quit in the intervention group, but quit rates did not differ. Exposure to the intervention was not associated with increased levels of psychological distress, as measured by the 12-item General Health Questionnaire. We conclude that this type of intervention, when implemented by staff during routine care, is probably associated with a small improvement in maternal cessation in pregnancy, similar to that produced by minimal advice to quit smoking.

In particular, research indicates that fathers feel ill-prepared. This paper reports the introduction in one Australian hospital of men-only discussion groups which are facilitated by a father. In each case the facilitator was a health professional, although this may not be a necessary qualification. Each group sets its own agenda, and so a range of issues may be discussed. These include 'fathering'-- the adjustment to being a father, and different parenting styles; and 'birth'-- the man's role in the childbirth process.

The SPL levels in infant ears are highly variable and significantly higher than the SPL levels present in average adult ears, making the quantification of SPL levels in infant ears extremely important for threshold determination and fitting of amplification. It is unknown how much the RECD changes in an individual infant over time, whether that change is within test-retest reliability of the RECD measure, and whether RECD values are predictable from other outer and middle ear measures. Purpose: The purposes of this study were to examine longitudinal changes in RECD values in newborn infants to determine whether a significant change in RECD values takes place over a one-month period, how the change in RECD relates to test-retest variability of the measure, and whether RECD values are predictable from the infant's corrected age, or measures of static admittance and equivalent ear canal volume (EECV). Study Sample: Fourteen infants (seven females, seven males) aged 7 to 25 days were recruited through community prenatal classes, physicians, hospital nurseries, and word of mouth. All infants had normal middle ear status. Data Collection and Analysis: Infants were tested on two separate visits, first when the infant was approximately two to three weeks old and then approximately one month later. Each visit lasted one to two hours, during which time otoacoustic emissions, 226 Hz and 1000 Hz probe-tone tympanometry, and two RECD measures were made for each ear. Results: A multivariate analysis of variance revealed a significant change in RECD values over a onemonth interval. Regression analyses revealed that final RECD values were partially predictable from age, initial RECD value, static admittance, and EECV. RECD test-retest variability was not large but larger than longitudinal RECD changes over a one-month period. Conclusions: It may be unnecessary to remeasure an RECD to account for changes in ear canal acoustics for repeated assessments, no more than one month apart, when the same test transducer is used. The RECD should, however, be measured at one of these assessments because RECD values are not predictable from an infant's age or measures of static admittance and ear canal volume.

Utilizing a repeated measures design, 112 couples recruited from childbirth education classes were assessed in third trimester and postpartum. Instruments included Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, General Sleep Disturbance Scale, wrist actigraphy, and an investigator-developed tool to assess infant temperament completed by mothers and fathers. Regardless of infant temperament, mothers who slept < 4 h between midnight and 6 am and mothers who napped < 60 min during the day were at increased risk for depression at three months postpartum. Infant temperament was associated with maternal sleep but was not a significant predictor of depressive symptoms after controlling for other contextual factors. Postpartum clinical visits should include questions about maternal sleep so interventions can be directed toward sufficient sleep to minimize risk of postpartum depression.

The study's aims were to assess the level of participation of Nigerian men in pregnancy and birth, the attitude of the women and likely targets for improved care delivery. Three hundred and forty-nine women (75.5%) were aware that husbands could participate in childbirth. Most women did not think it was their husbands' place to attend antenatal clinic (48.3%) or counselling sessions (56.7%). Nearly all husbands (97.4%) encouraged their wives to attend antenatal clinic - paying antenatal service bills (96.5%), paying for transport to the clinic (94.6%) and reminding them of their clinic visits (83.3%). Three hundred and thirty-five husbands (72.5%) accompanied their wives to the hospital for their last delivery, while 63.9% were present at last delivery. More-educated women were less likely to be accompanied to the antenatal clinic, while more-educated men were likely to accompany their wives. Yoruba husbands were less likely to accompany their wives, but Yoruba wives with non-Yoruba husbands were 12 times more likely to be accompanied. Women in the rural centre were less likely to receive help with household chores from their husbands during pregnancy, while educated women were more likely to benefit from this. Monogamous unions and increasing level of husbands' education were associated with spousal presence at delivery. It appears that male participation is satisfactory in some aspects, but increased attendance at antenatal services and delivery would be desirable.

SP - 159 EP - 159 JO - BMC Pregnancy & Childbirth JF - BMC Pregnancy & Childbirth JA - BMC PREGNANCY CHILDBIRTH VL - 15 IS - 1 PB - BioMed Central AB - Background: Very few Australian infants are exclusively breastfed to 6 months as recommended by the World Health Organization. There is strong empirical evidence that fathers have a major impact on their partner's decision to breastfeed and continuation of breastfeeding. Fathers want to participate in the breastfeeding decision making process and to know how they can support their partner to achieve their breastfeeding goals. The aim of the Parent Infant Feeding Initiative (PIFI) is to evaluate the effect on duration of any and exclusive breastfeeding of three breastfeeding promotion interventions of differing intensity and duration, targeted at couples but channelled through the male partner. The study will also undertake a cost-effectiveness evaluation of the interventions.Methods/design: The PIFI study is a factorial randomised controlled trial. Participants will be mothers and their male partners attending antenatal classes at selected public and private hospitals with maternity departments in Perth, Western Australia. Fathers will be randomly allocated to either the usual care control group (CG), one of two medium intensity (MI1 and MI2) interventions, or a high intensity (HI) intervention. MI1 will include a specialised antenatal breastfeeding education session for fathers with supporting print materials. MI2 will involve the delivery of an antenatal and postnatal social support intervention delivered via a smartphone application and HI will include both the specialised antenatal class and the social support intervention. Outcome data will be collected from couples at baseline and at six and 26 weeks postnatally. A total of 1600 couples will be recruited. This takes into account a 25% attrition rate, and will detect at least a 10% difference in the proportion of mothers breastfeeding between any two of the groups at 26 weeks at 80% power and 5% level of significance, using a Log-rank survival test. Multivariable survival and logistic regression analyses will be used to assess the effect of the treatment groups on the outcomes after adjusting for covariates.Discussion: The PIFI study will be the first Australian study to provide Level II evidence of the impact on breastfeeding duration of a comprehensive, multi-level, male-partner-focused breastfeeding intervention. Unique features of the intervention include its large sample size, delivery of two of the interventions by mobile device technology, a rigorous assessment of intervention fidelity and a cost-effectiveness evaluation.Trial Registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12614000605695.

A purposeful sample of 17 women in a drug and alcohol addiction treatment program and their infants was studied over the course of their first year in the program. The purpose of this naturalistic field study was to examine parent-child interactions during addiction treatment. The following research question guided the inquiry: What is the nature of parent-infant interaction during the first year in a perinatal addiction treatment program? This study combined grounded theory methodology with the quantitative methods of descriptive and differential statistics. Open-coding of interviews, field notes, and the treatment records followed grounded theory methodology. A time-sampling procedure was used to examine stability of interactions at the beginning of program participation, again when each infant was 6 months old, and when each infant was 12 months. Results are used to describe parent-child interactions across samples and over time. Chi-square procedures were performed on number of children in each family, length of time in the program, sobriety, and mutual enjoyment of interaction. A significant difference in interaction by length of time in the program (chi square = 7.0801, df = 1, p < .00) as well as in interaction by percent sobriety (chi square = 4. 1538, df = 1, p < .04) was evident. Behaviors of the infants reflected the emotional tone and parenting responses of their mothers. Dyads whose interactions showed a pattern of mutuality were more likely to continue in the treatment program and to maintain sobriety. The ability of a mother to enjoy her infant seemed to be the one factor that made the most difference in child behaviors. Results can be used by clinicians to guide the choice of treatment approaches that support the parent-child relationship during addiction treatment.

The objective of this study was to evaluate how an education program for expectant fathers who attended their partners' labor and birth affected their anxiety. Methods: In a randomized controlled trial, 87 expectant fathers who attended their pregnant partners through labor and birth at a hospital in central Taiwan were allocated by block randomization to an experimental (n = 45) and a control ( n = 42) group. The men completed their basic personal information, a childbirth expectations questionnaire, and a Trait Anxiety Inventory when they were recruited. Two hours after birth of their child, all the expectant fathers completed a State of Anxiety Inventory. Results: Our results showed no statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups of fathers in trait anxiety and their prenatal childbirth expectations. After analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to correct for education level, sources of childbirth information, attendance at Lamaze childbirth classes, and childbirth expectations at baseline, the effect of the childbirth program was significant for the postnatal level of anxiety (F = 3.38, p = 0.001). Conclusions: The study findings justify the clinical implementation of a birth education program based on the self-efficacy theory as an effective means of reducing anxiety among expectant fathers.

AB - Objective: To determine the current knowledge of postpartum womens' sleep patterns, sleep disturbances, consequences of sleep disturbances, and known strategies for prevention in order to provide best practice recommendations for health care providers. Data Sources: A literature search from 1969 through February 2008 was conducted using the CINHL, Index of Allied Health Literature, Ovid, PsycINFO, and PubMed electronic databases in addition to reference lists from selected articles and other key references. Search terms included sleep, postpartum, sleep deprivation, and sleep disturbance. Study Selection: A critical review of all relevant articles from the data sources was conducted with attention to the needs of postpartum womens' sleep and implications for health care providers. Data Extraction: Literature was reviewed and organized into groups with similar characteristics. Data Synthesis: An integrative review of the literature summarized the current state of research related to sleep alterations in postpartum women. Conclusions: Postpartum women experience altered sleep patterns that may lead to sleep disturbances. The most common reasons for sleep disturbances are related to newborn sleep and feeding patterns. Although present, the relationships among sleep disturbance, fatigue, and depression in postpartum women lack clarity due to their ambiguous definitions and the variety of the studies conducted. Providers should encourage prenatal education that assists the couple in developing strategies for decreasing postpartum sleep deprivation. Alterations of in-hospital care and home care should be incorporated to improve the new family's sleep patterns.

Two independent groups (current and past users, n = 207) were surveyed using an original questionnaire based on predisposing, reinforcing and enabling factors for human behaviour (Green's PRECEDE model). The data were compared and analysed using the related t-test for indicative differences in perceptions of the two groups. Indicative differences that were statistically significant were compared on variables representing users' age, parity and preferred mode of childbirth education (public or private). No evidence was found of significant differences in attitudes, beliefs and values before and after birth attributable to childbirth education. However, the health skills, confidence and emotional preparation for the birth, and the extent of participation in the learning process did not fully measure up to users' expectations. Consumers expect professionalism in the provision of services, with course content specifically tailored to their learning needs, taking into account age and previous experience of childbirth. A comnprehensive curriculum is suggested covering all stages of the childbirth process from pregnancy to parenting.

Semistructured interviews were conducted with representatives of both public (hospital-based) and private sector agencies. The survey was structured in a management problem-solving framework to gather data on educational strategies and administrative and organisational factors. This approach provided a coherent view of what health educators in childbirth education were doing and why, and identified needs that could be related to information about programme effectiveness gained from a parallel literature review (O'Meara, 1993) and a survey of client consumers. The study found that the organisation of childbirth and parenting education has not developed professionally in line with other health care services. Goals and objectives are ill-defined, and planning and co-ordination are inadequate for an integrated maternal health care system. Its main resource is a body of highly motivated teachers. Several recommendations are made for measures to enhance service effectiveness, based on needs identified in the study.

A critical review of the literature reveals the absence of a systematic framework for evaluation of childbirth education programmes. A framework which incorporates a methodology for health education planning and evaluation in a management context is proposed as a means of overcoming this deficiency. This framework enables a focus on the effectiveness of these health services from the perspective of both clients and providers, and identification of strategic measures for improving programme deivery and educational outcomes.

This paper is a report of a study to explore the needs of first-time fathers in relation to the care, support and education provided by healthcare professionals during the antenatal period, particularly in relation to preparing them for the transition to fatherhood. Background. Pregnancy and transition to parenthood are major developmental periods within families throughout the world. Previous research suggests that fathers in many different countries feel unprepared for parenthood. Methods. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 20 partners of primiparous women from two healthcare provider organizations in South-West England between December 2005 and July 2006. Recruitment took place at about 28 weeks gestation. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken at home in the last trimester of pregnancy and 3-4 months postpartum. Content analysis of the interview data was undertaken. Findings. Several common themes emerged from both the ante- and postnatal data, including lack of support mechanisms, involvement in antenatal provision and the need for more information given in the antenatal period on parenting, baby care and relationships. Conclusions. Adequately preparing new fathers for parenthood in advance of the birth of their baby is important, and healthcare professionals can contribute to this by involving and supporting new fathers. Further study is needed to explore the role of fathers in antenatal education and the types of interventions that are effective in improving their early experiences of parenthood. The study needs to be repeated with fathers from black and ethnic minority groups.

Eighty-six women completed a questionnaire at the 'book-in' clinic, at approximately twelve weeks gestation (pre-birth sample), and forty-eight women completed a questionnaire twelve weeks after the birth of their baby, (post-birth sample). The women were asked questions about their attendance at classes, perceived usefulness of the service, alternative sources of information and preferred class format. Predominantly, multigravida women did not attend or intend to attend the classes (87%), relying on their previous childbirth experience, knowledge from previous classes, books and videos, and discussions with doctors or midwives for any information they needed. Most primigravida women (79%) attended or intended to attend classes to meet their information needs, with the rest relying on female relatives or friends, or books and videos for their information. All but five of the topics covered in the classes were rated as useful or helpful by at least half of the primigravida attendees. Those suggesting additional topics nominated parenting and self-care post-birth as areas requiring more attention. 'Evening group classes' were the favoured class type for primigravida (64%) and multigravida (32%).

Strategies for addressing the unique medical, educational, and psychosocial needs of pregnant and parenting students will be examined. Documented physical and psychosocial risks associated with adolescent childbearing will be reviewed, and data related to the effect of young maternal age on pregnancy outcome and the effect of pregnancy on the life course development of adolescents will be emphasized. Specific elements of comprehensive, adolescent-oriented prenatal and postnatal care will be discussed, as well as the effectiveness of existing prenatal and postnatal programs at preventing the most serious sequelae of adolescent childbearing. The role of school-based services will be examined, and ways will be discussed for educators and health care providers to collaborate in providing medical, educational, and social services for adolescent parents and their children. In addition, topics for future research will be suggested. SN - 0022-4391 AD - Div Adolescent Med, Univ Colorado Health Sci Ctr Childrens Hosp, Denver, CO 80218 U2 - PMID: 1434558.

To evaluate compliance with each of the BFHI (Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative) 'Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding' defined by the WHO/UNICEF. METHOD: The study population included all the women who gave birth in Salnés Hospital between august 2004 and september 2005. All the women were administered a questionnaire before discharge. A prospective study was performed by telephone interviews at 4, 6 and 12 months postpartum. A database was created using SPSS 13.0 for Windows. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test and the Mann-Whitney non-parametric test for quantitative variables, and the Chi-square test for categorical variables. RESULTS: At discharge, 66.3% (134) of newborns were exclusively breastfed. At 6 months postpartum, 23.7% (31) of the women continued exclusive breastfeeding, and 10.2% (13) continued at 12 months. Factors with a significant effect on breastfeeding initiation were the partner's educational level and women's attendance at prenatal classes. Factors with a positive effect on maintaining breastfeeding were maternal non-smoking, a partner with tertiary education and the recommendation of on-demand breastfeeding by the healthcare provider. CONCLUSIONS: Compliance with the BFHI 'Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding' was fairly satisfactory, but the prevalence of breastfeeding should be higher. The father should be included in prenatal education.

Data collection was carried out by means of a self-reported questionnaire. The outcome variable was depression during the third trimester of pregnancy measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Predictor variables were psychosocial (marital dissatisfaction, confidant and affective social support) and personal (previous history of depression, partner depression and unplanned pregnancy) variables. The adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated by fitting a logistic regression model.Results: The prevalence of pregnancy depression was higher among women (10.3%) than men (6.5%). In both sexes, the probability of depression during pregnancy was higher in those with marital dissatisfaction (aOR 3.05, 95% CI 1.59 to 5.82 for women and 3.14, 95% CI 1.24 to 7.99 for men) and among those whose with a previous history of depression (aOR 2.18, 95% CI 1.22 to 3.89 for women and 5.22, 95% CI 2.05 to 13.34 for men). Unplanned pregnancy did not increase the risk of pregnancy depression either in women or men. Gender differences were found on the impact of social support and partner's depression. Whereas among men low affective social support and partner depression were associated with a higher probability of reporting depression, none of these variables were related to women's depression.Conclusion: Most predictor factors of depression during pregnancy are similar for both sexes but a gender-different impact of social support and partner depression on pregnancy depression was appreciated. Health professionals should be aware of potentially vulnerable groups for early diagnosis of pregnancy depression and to provide effective interventions.

AB - Background: Comprehensive antenatal psychosocial assessment of mothers prior to the birth is established in many regions. While the influence of fathers on infant and maternal well-being is also recognised as commencing before birth, the early identification of needs among expectant fathers has not been addressed. Methods: The current study surveyed fathers attending antenatal classes in public and private hospitals ( n = 307) in New South Wales, Australia, using psychosocial questions derived from the questions commonly asked in assessments of mothers. Results: The most frequent responses suggest that fathers, at the time of the birth, have needs in regard to their ability to cope with the stresses of new parenthood and the skills and knowledge to care for their new baby. Limitations: Conclusions from the study are limited in their application to the population of expectant fathers by the low response rate and the low numbers of low-income, ethnic-background, and indigenous fathers in the sample. Conclusion: Assessment of fathers by psychosocial questions similar to mothers is advised to detect fathers who may require assistance and parenting education for fathers in infant care.

To reflect the complexity of health care delivery at the systems level, we used the industrial modeling technique of discrete event simulation to analyze the impact of various deployment strategies for selective head cooling and its partner technology, amplitude-integrated electroencephalography. METHODS: We modeled the course through the perinatal system of all births in Massachusetts over a 1-year period. Cohort and care characteristics were drawn from existing databases. Results of a recently published trial were used to estimate the effects of selective head cooling. One thousand cohort replications were conducted to assess uncertainty. Several policy alternatives were examined, including no use of selective head cooling and scenarios that altered the number and placement of selective head-cooling and amplitude-integrated electroencephalography units throughout the state. Patient-level outcome and cost data were assessed. RESULTS: For all scenarios tested, the use of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography/selective head cooling resulted in better outcomes at lower cost. However, substantial differences in transfer rates, failure-to-cool rates, and total costs were seen across scenarios. Optimal decision-making regarding the number and placement of devices led to a 16% improvement in cost savings and a 10-fold decrease in failure-to-cool rates, compared with other deployment scenarios. These results were insensitive to significant changes in model inputs. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of currently available data, the package of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography and selective head cooling seems to be an economically desirable intervention. Quantifiable techniques to assess system-wide technology performance provide a powerful approach to informing decisions regarding the structure and function of health care systems.

AB - Objective: To describe levels of anxiety and self-efficacy for childbirth in nulliparous women during the late third trimester and to identify relationships among those variables, prehospitalization labor pain, management strategies, and hospital admission status. Design: A longitudinal, descriptive study. Participants: Thirty-five English-speaking nulliparous women, 18 to 40 years of age, more than or equal to 38 week's gestation, with uncomplicated pregnancies. All participants had a significant other (husband or partner) and attended childbirth education programs. Main Outcome Measures: Spielberger Trait Anxiety Inventory, Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire, Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory, McGill Pain Questionnaire-Short Form, postpartum interviews, and medical records review. Results: Prenatal anxiety was significantly related to self-efficacy for childbirth in late pregnancy, labor pain, number of hours at home in labor, and admitting cervical dilation. The number of management strategies used was related to pain scores during labor before hospital admission. Women who spent longer periods of time at home in labor arrived at the hospital with a greater cervical dilation. Conclusions: Antenatal characteristics influence intrapartal outcomes in nulliparas. Labor environment, at home and in the hospital, is recognized as an important component of the first childbirth experience.

In-depth interviews were held with 61 HIV positive women and men; at the time of interview, half had been receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) for over 6 months and half were not receiving ART. Being HIV positive modified but did not remove reproductive desires, and diversity existed in reproductive intentions. Some HIV positive individuals wished to avoid pregnancy. Fears of partner and infant infection and having a previously infected baby were important factors deterring some individuals from considering having children. There was also strongly perceived community disapproval associated with HIV and reproduction. Strong desires to experience parenthood, mediated by prevailing social and cultural norms that encouraged childbearing in society more broadly, were reported by others. Motherhood was an important component of married women's identity and important for women's social status. Family, husbands' and societal expectations for childbearing were important influences on women's reproductive intentions, for some counterbalancing HIV as a factor discouraging reproduction. There was evidence that prevention of perinatal transmission programs in combination with ART may alter women and men's attitudes in favour of childbearing. Most HIV positive women had not discussed their reproductive desires and intentions with health care providers in HIV care or general health services because of anticipated negative reactions. The few who had done so perceived the counselling environment to be mostly unsupportive of open discussion on these issues. The findings highlight the need for explicit policies recognizing reproductive rights and choice. They support the need for health counselling and service interventions that advance safer and healthier reproductive options for HIV positive individuals in this region of the world which is experiencing a generalised and advanced HIV/AIDS pandemic.

The purpose of this study was to describe maternal, neonatal, and outside influences associated with the intention, initiation, and duration of breast-feeding for women whose newborns were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. One hundred mothers were interviewed. Most mothers (67%) intended to breast-feed exclusively and this was significantly related to maternal characteristics such as age, education, parity, smoking and marital status, pre-breast-feeding experience, and the influences of the neonate's father and prenatal education. Seventy-eight mothers initiated pumping. Initiation was significantly related to maternal education, smoking, parity, previous breast-feeding experience, the neonate's physician, the neonate's father, and postpartum breast-feeding education. Fifty-four mothers were followed up by telephone after discharge until weaning. Thirty percent were exclusively breast-feeding at 2 weeks after discharge, and 15% were breast-feeding at 1 year. Duration of breast-feeding was significantly associated with education, marital status, ethnicity, income, assistance from nurses and lactation consultants, and feeding method along with milk type and milk volume at discharge. Increased family support, timely breast-feeding information, and a supportive neonatal intensive care unit environment are needed for women to succeed in breast-feeding their hospitalized newborns.

Current recommendations specify that very premature infants be referred prenatally to level III facilities, yet not all very preterm neonates require level III intensive care. The objective of our study was to determine the antenatal factors that, in association with gestational age, predict the need for neonatal intensive care in preterm infants, to match the size of birth with the level of care required. METHODS: Data were analyzed from a cohort of very preterm infants born in nine French regions in 1997. We defined the need for neonatal intensive care as follows: (1) the requirement for specialized management (mechanical ventilation for >48 hours, high frequency oscillation, or inhaled nitric oxide) or (2) poor outcome (transfer to a level III facility within the first 2 days of life or early neonatal death). Triplet pregnancies and pregnancies marked by fetal malformations or intensive care requirements for the mother before delivery were excluded. RESULTS: We focused our study on 1262 neonates aged 30, 31 and 32 weeks' gestation, where the need for intensive care was 42.8%, 33.2%, and 22.8%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the risk factors for intensive care requirement with low gestational age were twin pregnancies, maternal hypertension, antepartum hemorrhage, infection, and male gender. Antenatal steroid therapy and premature rupture of membranes were protective factors against intensive care requirement. CONCLUSION: Infants <31 weeks' gestation should be referred to level III facilities. From 31 weeks' gestation, some infants can be safely handled in level IIb facilities. However, the quality of perinatal regionalization may only be fully assessed by long-term follow-up.

SP - 247 EP - 247 JO - BMC Pediatrics JF - BMC Pediatrics JA - BMC PEDIATR VL - 14 IS - 1 PB - BioMed Central AB - Background: This study aimed to establish the predictors of positive and negative parenting behaviours in a United Kingdom population. The majority of previous research has focused on specific risk factors and has used a variety of outcome measures. This study used a single assessment of parenting behaviours and started with a wide range of potential pre- and post-natal variables; such an approach might be used to identify families who might benefit from parenting interventions.Methods: Using a case-control subsample of 160 subjects from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), regression analysis was undertaken to model parenting behaviours at 12 months as measured by the Mellow Parenting Observational System.Results: Positive parenting increased with maternal age at delivery, levels of education and with prenatal anxiety. More negative interactions were observed among younger mothers, mothers with male infants, with prenatal non-smokers and among mothers who perceived they had a poor support structure.Conclusions: This study indicates two factors which may be important in identifying families most at risk of negative parenting: younger maternal age at delivery and lack of social support during pregnancy. Such factors could be taken into account when planning provision of services such as parenting interventions. We also established that male children were significantly more likely to be negatively parented, a novel finding which may suggest an area for future research. However the findings have to be accepted cautiously and have to be replicated, as the measures used do not have established psychometric validity and reliability data.

Given the sensitive nature of gender roles and relations in many cultures, understanding the context of a particular setting, potential barriers, and attitudes towards a new intervention are necessary first steps in designing services that include men. In preparation for a male involvement in antenatal care intervention, this qualitative study specifically aims to: (a) understand the barriers to male involvement in maternal health and (b) explore men's, women's, and providers' attitudes towards the promotion of male involvement in antenatal care and maternal health. In-depth interviews were conducted with fourteen couples and eight maternal health care providers at a public maternity hospital in Katmandu, Nepal. Additionally, seventeen couples participated in focus group discussions. The most prominent barriers to male involvement in maternal health included low levels of knowledge, social stigma, shyness/embarrassment and job responsibilities. Though providers also foresaw some obstacles, primarily in the forms of hospital policy, manpower and space problems, providers unanimously felt the option of couples-friendly maternal health services would enhance the quality of care and understanding of health information given to pregnant women, echoing attitudes expressed by most pregnant women and their husbands. Accordingly, a major shift in hospital policy was seen as an important first step in introducing couple-friendly antenatal or delivery services. The predominantly favorable attitudes of pregnant women, husbands, and providers towards encouraging greater male involvement in maternal health in this study imply that the introduction of an option for such services would be both feasible and well accepted.

We used multivariable logistic regression to examine the association of perinatal risk markers, low birthweight and preterm birth for foreign- and native-born black women by residential black concentration.Results: Native-born black women had a higher prevalence of risk markers and were at almost 1.5 times the risk of foreign-born blacks for delivery of low-birthweight or preterm infants. Risk markers and poor birth outcomes were most prevalent in medium and high-black-concentration areas than low-concentration areas. Preterm birth was slightly positively associated with residential black concentration.Conclusions: Native-born black women were at higher risk than foreign-born women for delivery of preterm and low-birthweight infants. Residential black concentration was associated with risk markers and only slightly associated with preterm birth. Further study of why birth outcome differentials exist by nativity and residential black concentration may identify opportunities for community-based public health interventions.

AB - OBJECTIVE: to assess fathers' and grandmothers' knowledge of breast feeding and their ability to support successful breast feeding. To design a suitable intervention for fathers and grandmothers to support breast-feeding mothers, to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention and monitor its likely effects on breast-feeding rates. DESIGN: qualitative focus groups and interviews. Evaluation of the feasibility of an antenatal intervention. SETTING: Community Health Centre and family homes in an area of relative social and economic deprivation in South Bristol, UK, from November 2001 to May 2003. PARTICIPANTS: 10 grandmothers and five fathers in focus groups and interviews. Twenty-nine families in the intervention. INTERVENTION: an antenatal intervention for grandmothers or partners to support breast feeding, which combined the benefits and mechanics of breast feeding with ways of providing support for breast feeding. FINDINGS: using an antenatal session based around a leaflet, specifically written for grandmothers and partners, and including a demonstration of good breast-feeding positioning and attachment in addition to the discussion of specific issues around the health benefits and mechanics of breast feeding was found to be acceptable, useful and enjoyable by all participants, particularly for first-time parents. The importance of fathers and grandmothers in providing emotional and practical support for breast-feeding mothers is highlighted, since those who were still breast feeding at eight weeks all felt that they were receiving similar or better support postnatally than they were antenatally. Significantly more intervention mothers were breast feeding their babies at eight weeks than in the wider practice population of mothers outside the study who intended to breast feed. Fathers' attitudes to breast feeding postnatally were fairly similar to those before the baby was born with breast feeding in public and knowing how much milk the baby was getting having the most influence on whether they felt that their partner should continue to breast feed. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: this type of intervention could be part of a multi-faceted approach towards improving breast-feeding initiation and continuation, particularly in areas of low prevalence. Health professionals should be opportunistic about involving other family members in discussions about breast feeding whenever possible, both antenatally and postnatally.

Ltd. AB - Traditionally, the care of women during pregnancy and childbirth was relegated to obstetricians and midwives, with the neonatologist caring for the newborn, together with nurses. In recent decades, as women's voices have been increasingly heard, care has been expanded to include childbirth educators so that the cognitive needs of women and their partners (usually focusing on pregnancy and birth but not often on parenthood) could be catered for in addition to their biological needs. Less attention has, however, been paid by caregivers to women's and their partner's emotional needs during their transition through pregnancy and birth to parenthood although recent recognition of the importance of support in labour and birth has acknowledged this need. The lack of any clear role, or indeed any role at all, for perinatal psychologists in this process, is evidence of this omission. This paper highlights the potential role to be played by perinatal psychologists and the need to develop care facilities that include this contribution.

In contrast to women's experiences of motherhood, there has been comparatively little research investigating men's experience of the transition to fatherhood and how changing cultural perspectives contribute to the contemporary experience of fathering. This paper draws on the findings of a larger ethnographic study of men's transition to fatherhood in the United Kingdom (UK) and discusses men's experiences of pregnancy confirmation. Methods. A longitudinal ethnographic approach was chosen to investigate men's 'real life' accounts of their transition to fatherhood. A mixture of 'novice' and experienced fathers (n = 18) were recruited from antenatal classes in the north of the UK during 1998. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on three occasions, twice during their partner's pregnancy and once afterwards. Findings. Framed by the context of the contemporary construction of involved fatherhood, the men frequently spoke of their desire to be 'involved' with their partner's pregnancy and yet reported difficulty in engaging with its reality. They nevertheless participated in a range of activities - body-mediated-moments - which brought them closer to their partner's pregnant body and therefore their unborn baby. These activities centred on pregnancy confirmation, announcement, foetal movements, the ultrasound scan, and culminated in their presence during labour and delivery. This paper discusses their involvement in the process of pregnancy confirmation. Conclusion. The men's experiences of early pregnancy were marked forcefully by their involvement in the confirmation process. This activity gave men entry into a physical dimension, helping them forge an involvement in the pregnancy and shape their early transition to fatherhood. Implications for practice. The study has provided insight into expectant men's experiences of pregnancy and contributed to the understanding of the changing nature of contemporary fatherhood in the UK. Recognition of men's changing roles in pregnancy, and greater insight into their experiences should be of relevance to all those supporting the transition to parenthood, including midwives, obstetricians, ultrasonographers and childbirth educators. Such increased awareness should inform the antenatal support given to men and reinforce the importance of relevant antenatal preparation that effectively meets the needs of not only expectant women, but also expectant men.

AB - A conceptual framework using transition in meaning/identity, roles, and relationship/interaction was used to develop and test a three-class, prenatal couple relationship intervention. A nonrandomized convenience sample (treatment group [TG] = 43, control group [CG] = 62 prenatal class couples) was compared preclass and postclass and at mean 10.5 months postbirth. Couples with lower relationship quality self-selected into TG. Both TG and CG showed a rise in relationship satisfaction from preclass to postclass and a pattern of returning to baseline postbirth. ANCOVA (Time 1 children and parenting as covariate) found no treatment effect; TGdeclined in conflict resolution from Times 1 to 3. Methodological issues in intervention research that may have impeded a teamwork effect are discussed in this article, including randomization, intervention length, unintended intervention and control group effects, content 'fit' and need for piloting, attrition, sample size, recruitment, tool length, and participant fatigue.

AB - To identify determinants of the initiation and duration of breastfeeding by Chinese Australian mothers, a cross-sectional survey of 506 Mandarin-speaking women in Perth, Western Australia, was conducted. Doctors' support of breastfeeding was positively associated with the initiation of breastfeeding both in the mothers' home countries (odds ratio [OR], 9.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.17-31.18) and in Australia (OR, 16.78; 95% CI, 7.12-39.55) and with duration. Mother's level of education was positively associated with the initiation of breastfeeding in the mother's home country (OR, 3.04; 95% CI, 1.36-6.80) and positively associated with the duration of breastfeeding both in the mother's home country and Australia. Father's preference for breastfeeding was positively associated with the initiation of breastfeeding of the mother giving birth in Australia (OR, 4.96; 95% CI, 1.93-12.66). Health professionals can provide invaluable support for mothers initiating and continuing breastfeeding in this population. Prenatal education also needs to emphasize the ways in which fathers can support and contribute to breastfeeding.

It focuses on the perceived support pregnant smokers would receive for quitting smoking and how this support could be effectively used by incorporating the education of partners/family in smoking cessation intervention strategies. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed, and data were collected from pregnant smokers through semistructured interviews and self-completed questionnaires. From the questionnaire data, the women reported that they would receive considerable support from their partners if they decided to stop smoking. The interviews, however, revealed that this support was 'potential' rather than 'real' and that the partners mostly made 'token gestures' such as smoking outside. None of the interviewed respondents reported receiving help in educating their partner/family about the risks of active and passive smoking, thus reducing the potential positive role they could play in smoking cessation. Whilst health professionals are aware of the important role the partner/family may play in successful smoking cessation interventions, these significant others are generally not involved. This study highlights the need for consideration to be given to providing opportunities for couples to be fully involved in smoking cessation interventions outside the antenatal environment.

AB - OBJECTIVE: To quantify longitudinally steroid hormone (testosterone, cortisol, and estradiol) concentrations in men becoming fathers for the first time ('dads'). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Volunteer study subjects were recruited from first-trimester prenatal classes in Kingston, Ontario, in February 1999. Twenty-three dads provided saliva samples from recruitment through 3 months after the birth of their children. Fourteen men who were not fathers were recruited from the general population to serve as age-matched controls for season and time of day. Estradiol, testosterone, and cortisol levels were quantified. RESULTS: After controlling for effects of time of day and season, dads had lower mean +/- SE testosterone (6.5+/-0.7 vs 10.0+/-0.9 ng/dL; P<.005) and cortisol (morning values, 0.30+/-0.05 vs 0.53+/-0.05 microg/dL; P<.005) concentrations, a higher proportion of samples with detectable estradiol concentrations (68% [308/454] vs 57% [87/154]; P=.01), and higher estradiol concentrations in those detectable samples (3.81+/-0.09 pg/mL [13 dads] vs 3.26+/-0.11 pg/mL [9 controls]; P<.002) than did control men. Within 10 individual dads with frequent samples before and after the birth, the percentage of samples with detectable estradiol was lower during the month before the birth than during the month after (51% vs 71%; P=.02), and cortisol concentration was increased in the week before the birth (to a mean of 0.16 microg/dL). In each of 13 dads providing frequent samples, testosterone concentration and variance were low immediately after the birth (no change from previous levels in 5, decrease after prebirth increase in 3, and decrease relative to all other times in 5). CONCLUSIONS: In this population of Canadian volunteers attending prenatal classes, expectant fathers had lower testosterone and cortisol levels and a higher proportion of samples with detectable estradiol concentrations than control subjects. Individual patterns of testosterone variance relative to the birth and estradiol and cortisol concentrations immediately before the birth may be worthy of further investigation. The physiologic importance of these hormonal changes, if any, is not known. However, they are hormones known to influence maternal behavior.

AB - OBJECTIVE: to describe and compare sexual and reproductive history as well as reactions to the pregnancy and attendance in antenatal care, family classes and childbirth of fathers of babies born to teenage mothers and fathers of babies born to average aged mothers. DESIGN: a descriptive comparative study using a structured questionnaire for data collection. SETTING: eleven postnatal wards at the five obstetric and gynaecological departments in the Stockholm area. PARTICIPANTS: 132 fathers of babies born to primiparous teenage mothers (Group A) and the same number of fathers of babies born to primiparous women aged between 25-29 years (Group B) who were present in the postnatal wards. FINDINGS: 43 of Group A compared to 17% of the Group B fathers had their first intercourse before 15 years of age. This early sexual debut was related to other health hazard, such as use of illicit drugs and cigarette smoking. The majority of the pregnancies in Group A were unplanned but most fathers reacted positively to the pregnancy and participated in the antenatal care. In contrast, only half of these fathers attended family classes. KEY CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: fathers of babies born to teenage mothers differed from fathers of babies to older mothers regarding reproductive background as well as involvement during pregnancy. The findings of this study challenge midwives to organise clinical practice in order to meet the specific needs of this group. SN - 0266-6138 U2 - PMID: 12809628.

This topic had not been researched previously and the information gained could have implications for midwives working with Chinese women everywhere. Aims. To explore the specific childbirth expectations of Hong Kong Chinese first-time pregnant women. Methods. This was a cross-sectional descriptive survey study and a Chinese version of the Childbirth Expectations Questionnaire was used to collect data. The sample consisted of 186 first-time pregnant women who first attended the antenatal clinic at a large public hospital in a major geographical region of Hong Kong. Results. Results showed that the Chinese pregnant women, the majority of who had not attended childbirth education classes, had high expectations of support from both their partners and midwives during labour and delivery. Conversely, expectations toward their own ability to cope with pain were relatively low. In addition, the pregnant women expressed concerns about the severity of labour pain and indicated low expectations about minimal use of medical interventions during labour. Conclusions. This study results add to the existing literature about childbirth expectations of first-time pregnant Hong Kong Chinese women. Midwife educators should incorporate the findings into childbirth education classes to help pregnant women develop realistic and positive expectations.

AB - Health Education is considered as one of the most suitable tools to develop the professional identity of Nursing.This paper proposes a program of health education aimed at the precocious birth, with the objective of being able to reinforce, in the woman as well in her partner, the knowledge that is dealt with in the maternal education previous to the childbirth, in order to be able to achieve more independence for the family when going back home.This is arranged in three clinical sessions, in which the previously assessed aspects and those which need to be reinforced, are treated. The methodology used is mainly practical. The evaluation will be twofold: that of the nursing professional towards the woman who has given birth, and the woman's towards the program.

This study examined the interaction between fathers' information-seeking coping predispositions and their level of attendance at antenatal classes with respect to their experiences of attending childbirth. Associations between fathers' childbirth experiences, their relationship with their baby, and level of depressive symptomatology at 6 weeks postpartum were also examined. Methods: A quantitative methodology was employed in which 78 fathers completed several questionnaires, some within 6 days of childbirth and others at 6 weeks postpartum. Results: Fathers who were characterized as high blunters (avoiders) of threat information, from antenatal classes reported that experiencing childbirth was less fulfilling than fathers with similar coping styles who did not attend classes. Fathers' reports of fulfillment and delight while attending childbirth were negatively related to their level of depressive symptomatology at 6 weeks postpartum. Levels of distress were associated with subsequent depressive symptoms, but their effect was removed when preexisting depressive symptoms were partialled out. Fathers whose children were born by cesarean delivery used significantly more negative adjectives to describe their baby at 6 weeks postpartum compared with those born by vaginal delivery. More married fathers attended antenatal classes and reported lower levels of depressive symptomatology than unmarried fathers. Conclusions: Although fathers' attendance at antenatal classes may have positive consequences for them and their partner, for some fathers, attendance at classes may be associated with less positive reports of experiencing childbirth. The way in which men experience childbirth may have some influence on their subsequent emotional well-being.

SETTING: Infants born in the United States to mothers who were white (non-Hispanic), African American, Mexican American, and Native American. METHODS: Linked infant birth and death data from the National Center for Health Statistics for 1989-91 were analyzed to calculate unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios for death due to homicide or unintentional injury within the first year of life. In addition to maternal race and birth weight, the risk of death was adjusted for maternal age, prenatal care, maternal education, paternal education, marital status, birth order, interval since last pregnancy, smoking during pregnancy, and alcohol intake during pregnancy. RESULTS: Among 10.7 million births during 1989-91, 821 homicides and 2397 unintentional deaths were reported in infants. Relative to whites, African Americans were at highest risk for homicides (unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios = 3.6 (95% confidence interval = 3.1 to 4.2) and 1.6 (1.3 to 1.9), respectively) and Native Americans at highest risk for unintentional injuries (unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios = 3.8 (3.0 to 4.8) and 2.1 (1.7 to 2.6), respectively). After accounting for other sociodemographic factors, Mexican American infants appeared protected from injury (adjusted odds ratio = 0.7 (0.6 to 1.0) for homicides and 0.7 (0.6 to 0.8) for unintentional injuries). An inverse effect of birth weight was seen-as birth weight decreased, risk of homicides and unintentional injuries increased. After adjustment for the sociodemographic factors, very low birthweight babies were still at substantially increased risk of homicides with an odds ratio of 2.1 (1.4 to 3.1) and unintentional injuries with an odds ratio of 2.9 (2.4 to 3.7). CONCLUSIONS: Using a large national data-set, the effect of race as a risk factor for fatal infant injuries was mostly explained by birth weight and other sociodemographic factors. Preventable risk factors need to be identified for African Americans and Native Americans, in particular. Birth weight is an important independent risk factor; very low birthweight babies should be monitored for both homicide and unintentional injury.

Method: Ovid Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane and Web of Knowledge databases were searched to identify research articles published in English from 2000 to 2012, using specified search terms in a variety of combinations. All articles included in this structured review were assessed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Findings: The labour and birthing effects on women attending antenatal education may include less false labour admissions, more partner involvement, less anxiety but more labour interventions. Conclusion: This literature review has identified that antenatal education may have some positive effects on women's labour and birth including less false labour admissions, less anxiety and more partner involvement. There may also be some negative effects. Several studies found increased labour and birth interventions such as induction of labour and epidural use. There is contradictory evidence on the effect of antenatal education on mode of birth. More research is required to explore the impact of antenatal education on women's birthing outcomes.

Research in the area of father's engagement with pregnancy and childbirth has mainly focused on white middle-class men and has been mostly qualitative in design. Thus, the aim of this study was to understand who was engaged during pregnancy and childbirth, in what way, and how paternal engagement may influence a woman's uptake of services, her perceptions of care, and maternal outcomes.Methods: This study involved secondary analysis of data on 4616 women collected in a 2010 national maternity survey of England asking about their experiences of maternity care, health and well-being up to three months after childbirth, and their partners' engagement in pregnancy, labour and postnatally. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square, binary logistic regression and generalised linear modelling.Results: Over 80% of fathers were 'pleased or 'overjoyed' in response to their partner's pregnancy, over half were present for the pregnancy test, for one or more antenatal checks, and almost all were present for ultrasound examinations and for labour. Three-quarters of fathers took paternity leave and, during the postnatal period, most fathers helped with infant care. Paternal engagement was highest in partners of primiparous white women, those living in less deprived areas, and in those whose pregnancy was planned. Greater paternal engagement was positively associated with first contact with health professionals before 12 weeks gestation, having a dating scan, number of antenatal checks, offer and attendance at antenatal classes, and breastfeeding. Paternity leave was also strongly associated with maternal well-being at three months postpartum.Conclusions: This study demonstrates the considerable sociodemographic variation in partner support and engagement. It is important that health professionals recognise that women in some sociodemographic groups may be less supported by their partner and more reliant on staff and that this may have implications for how women access care.

The majority of participants were African American parents.Results: The involved "male" was identified as either the biological father, or, the current male partner of the pregnant woman. Both men and women described the ideal, involved father or male partner as present, accessible, available, understanding, willing to learn about the pregnancy process and eager to provide emotional, physical and financial support to the woman carrying the child. Women emphasized a sense of "togetherness" during the pregnancy. Suggestions included creating male-targeted prenatal programs, enhancing current interventions targeting females, and increasing healthcare providers' awareness of the importance of men's involvement during pregnancy.Conclusions: Individual, family, community, societal and policy factors play a role in barring or diminishing the involvement of fathers during pregnancy. Future research and interventions should target these factors and their interaction in order to increase fathers' involvement and thereby improve pregnancy outcomes.

The elevated risk of HIV acquisition in pregnant women may be explained by behavioural and other factors. The aim of this study was to assess sexual HIV risk behaviour and its associated factors among pregnant women in Mpumalanga, South Africa.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1 502 pregnant women (age range 18-47 years, mean age 26.6 years, standard deviation (SD) 6.1, and the mean gestational age was 6.5 months (SD 1.6). Antenatal women were selected, using systematic sampling from 63 primary care clinics and community health centres in Nkangala District. Data were collected by using a structured questionnaire and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used.Results: The majority (63%) of the participants had never used a condom with their primary sexual partner in the past 3 months, 60% were not aware of the HIV status of their sexual partner, 7.6% had a casual sexual partner in the past 3 months, 20% had two or more sexual partners in the past 12 months and 17.3% reported to have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) (other than HIV) in the past 12 months. The various HIV risk behaviours were predicted, by being single and alcohol use for multiple sexual partners; by fewer antenatal visits, being HIV negative and not having used alcohol for lack of condom use; by being HIV positive, having experienced physical partner violence and psychological distress for having been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (other than HIV); and by lower education, unplanned pregnancy, non-antenatal care attendance by expectant father, the belief that antiretrovirals can cure HIV and being HIV positive for having a partner with HIV positve or unknown status.Conclusion: High levels of sexual HIV risk behaviour were found during pregnancy. Pregnant women need to be informed of their increased risk of HIV and the importance of sexual HIV risk reduction including the use of condoms throughout pregnancy.

AB - A questionnaire was administered to 100 women (50 primigravidae, 50 multigravidae) to investigate the influence of psychosocial factors on personal control in pain relief. Personal control was measured using a 36-item scale based on the concept of 'Rule'. The women were asked to rate each rule on a 7-point Likert scale. Measures of psychosocial factors included assessment of the women's expectations of labour pain, maternal confidence, pain intensity, antenatal training and partner support. Demographic variables including parity were also recorded. The questionnaires were completed prior to and within 48 h following the women's delivery (whilst they were inpatients on the postnatal ward).Two variables, antenatal training and pain intensity, emerged as predictors of personal control in pain relief following stepwise multiple regression analysis. These findings have implications for clinical practice particularly in the area of antenatal care and planning care during labour.

DESIGN: Grounded theory. METHODS: Seventeen couples were interviewed using a semi-structured interview format. RESULTS: Two major concepts were identified: 'Losing Her' and 'She's Back.' The men reported that these were the two critical points at which the epidural affected their experience. The theory, 'Cruising through Labor,' explained the fathers' experiences. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Childbirth preparation classes that describe and explain women's responses to the increasing pain of labor contractions, the exhaustion of labor, and the effect of epidural analgesia could possibly assist men in preparing for the changes they will witness in their partners during the labor experience. Knowing that these changes are normal responses to the effects of labor might reduce men's levels of anxiety, frustration, and sense of helplessness. The labor nurse is a major support to the expectant fathers. Labor nurses who remain in the room during this phase, explain what is happening, and include the expectant father in their nursing care provide the best support.

As part of a larger project, a longitudinal study examined: (1) Key features of the transition to parenthood for 'low risk' couples (n=106); (2) Compared the adjustments of couples (n=52) who participated in a new parent-infant programme, with couples (n=54) on a 'waiting list' control. The study found that (a) A substantial number of the 'low risk' women and their partners experienced psychological distress; (b) Concerns were different to the agenda of traditional antenatal classes; (c) Participation in the parent-infant programme led to a significant increase in psychological well-being, confidence as a parent and satisfaction with the couple and parent-infant relationship. Considerations regarding the focus of antenatal classes and the training of midwives as parent educators are raised.

A convenience sample of 45 primigravid women was selected from the postpartum unit of a public hospital in Hong Kong. They were all first-time Chinese mothers, aged 18 or over, who had attended antenatal classes and had their partners present during labour. The State Scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to measure maternal anxiety during labour. Labour pain was measured by the Visual Analogue Scale. A series of scales were developed to measure partners' participation during labour. Women's ratings of partners' practical support were significantly lower than their ratings of partners' emotional support. There were no significant associations between level of emotional support and maternal outcome measures. However, perceived practical support was positively related to the dosage of pain-relieving drug used and total length of labour. Positive relationships between the duration of partners' presence and women's ratings of perceived support provided by partners during labour were also found.

AB - Surveys show that a significant percentage of Americans are using alternative therapies. Women are more likely than men to seek alternative health care and often use alternative therapies for childbirth-related concerns. Despite abundant anecdotal evidence supporting the efficacy of alternative practice for the enhancement of breastfeeding, surprisingly little corroborating empirical evidence exists in the medical literature. This article reviews the studies pertaining to the use of several alternative techniques for breastfeeding women including herbalism, acupuncture, imagery, massage, diet, and the application of cabbage leaves. Speculation is made regarding the psychological value of women's use of alternative treatments during breastfeeding.

Purposive sampling was used to recruit subjects of two groups: (1) expectant father group: 150 expectant fathers from obstetrical clinics of four hospitals. (2) control group: 150 matched males. Three instruments were used to collect data: The Somatic Symptom Checklist the Perceived Stress Scale and the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List. Two-sample t-test, analysis of variance and multiple regression were utilized to analyze data. The results found that: (1) The expectant fathers suffered more somatic symptoms than control group, and sixty-eight percent of subjects were identified as having couvade syndrome. (2) Expectant fathers showed a significantly higher score on perceived stress than did the controls. (3) The best subsets to predict the criterion variable of couvade syndrome included perceived stress and the attendance of a prenatal class. Implications for nursing practice: (1) Increase nurses' knowledge of expectant fathers' experiences and enhance nurses' sensitivity to their somatic symptoms. (2) Encourage expectant fathers to participate in a prenatal class to promote their quality of life.

AB - This descriptive, phenomenological study investigated the cultural and spiritual meanings of the childbirth experience from the personal perspectives of 30 Canadian Orthodox Jewish and 30 American Mormon women. Fewer Jewish women had childbirth education and attendance of their partners during childbirth than did Mormon women. Participants in the study, having cod fed belief systems, expressed the primary importance of bearing children in obedience to religious law. Birth was articulated as a bittersweet paradox, often accompanied by a sense of empowerment. Women described the importance of personal connectedness with others and with God, the importance of childbearing, and the spiritual and emotional dimensions of their childbirth experiences. Religious beliefs help women define the meaning of childbirth and may provide coping mechanisms for the intensity of giving birth. It is essential for holistic nurses to value and acknowledge the cultural and spiritual dimensions of the childbirth experience.

The need for this service was identified following a Healthy Options Day at the prison in December 1995, and the observations of one of the health-care officers working with both the inmates and the visitors. The aims of the scheme were: to provide antenatal education, advice and support to the women visiting their partners in the remand centre; to provide general health education to both women and their partners, e.g. smoking, diet and avoiding infection; and to liaise with other health professions/organizations to facilitate ongoing health care. Evaluation of the scheme has been difficult. However, the feedback from the visitors, inmates and staff has been very positive and the results show that the aims are being met.

The Prenatal Attitude toward Childbirth Participation Scale was administered to 119 couples before and after attendance at a childbirth education course. The Labor Delivery Evaluation Scale, the Labor Agency Scale, and the Delivery Agency Scale were administered after delivery. Results showed that childbirth education affected couples' anticipated levels of control during labor and delivery. Anticipated and perceived levels of control were associated, and perceived levels of control correlated with overall evaluations of childbirth experiences. These findings suggest that childbirth educators and health care providers should focus on participants' opportunities to exercise control during childbirth and on identifying emergency situations during which control must be relinquished to the health care team.

AB - OBJECTIVE: To discover the expectations and experiences of childbirth preparation and childbirth of Swedish men in order to contribute to a basis of reflections in the midwifery profession. DESIGN: Three tape-recorded interviews were performed: before and after childbirth preparation, and between one and three weeks after the baby was born. SETTING: Swedish maternity care. PARTICIPANTS: Eleven men who participated with their partners in antenatal classes. MEASUREMENTS AND FINDINGS: The interviews were analysed in several steps and included co-assessments by co-workers. Finally, an interpretation based on the concept 'vital involvement' was undertaken. Indications of vital involvement as well as various levels of involvement or distance were found. The participation in childbirth was more demanding than expected for the eleven men. They felt unprepared for an unpredictable process, the experience of time and pain, the woman's action, and their own reactions. The men who were regarded by the authors as vitally involved seemed to manage overwhelming feelings of helplessness during childbirth, to support the women, and experience the meeting with the baby positively. KEY CONCLUSION: It seems important for midwives to meet men individually, design childbirth preparation from men's perspective, follow up interpretations of the content, discuss expectations with regard to the men's role, and assess their experiences during the birth process.

Group members are invited to reflect on their own experiences of being parented. They identify how they can create a nurturing environment for their child and what kinds of parenting negatively affect young children ' s ability to learn and to develop positive relationships, This theme also looks at wider family relationships and asks how these will be affected by the arrival of a new baby.

AB - Behavioral, cognitive, and humanistic theories are relevant to teaching couples and groups about childbearing. In this article, theories of adult learning are examined and the ways in which they can be used with childbearing couples are illustrated. The process is to identify the learner's needs and apply the appropriate theory and methods. The emotional context in which learning occurs is underscored as is the use of a facilitator rather than a teacher role. In addition, the health care providers' experiences must be considered, because their agreement with the learning plan is critical for developing a partnership with the couple. Two examples are presented, one through a group childbirth education experience and the other through the participation of women and health care providers in developing a hand-held patient record.

This article considers current research into the emotional and social implications of the transition to parenthood, for men as well as for women, and whether this can be applied to support families effectively. Research clearly shows that some couples cope better than others during the transition to parenthood, often showing sensitivity and understanding to each other's needs. Is it the midwife's role to consider the holistic care of the family and to promote communication skills and conflict resolution skills? Should ante-natal classes be co-facilitated with health visitors to really prepare couples for the transition to parenthood?

This study aimed to investigate the availability and type of breastfeeding information and support services offered by Melbourne hospitals. This was discussed in regard to the possible effect this may have on mothers' choice of feeding method. All hospitals known by Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia (NMAA) to be involved in obstetric care were asked to complete a questionnaire. Factors such as antenatal class timing, attendance, cost and content were investigated as indicators of the extent of services available. Specifically, services and information offered for women from non English speaking backgrounds (NESB) and from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islands were identified. The study found that breastfeeding education is a small part of antenatal education in Melbourne hospitals. The inclusion of NMAA was widespread among hospitals, allowing access to information and support services. The amount of information and support services available for women from NESB and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background needs to be expanded. SN - 0729-2759 U2 - PMID: 9618604.

I was keen to gain increased knowledge, not only about breastfeeding but the way in which Swedish midwives work, why some units have incredibly low rates of caesarean section -- as little as 4% -- why there is only 2% homebirth and how midwives working in the UK can learn from them.I set out in June 2004 on my third year elective placement to Stockholm, Sweden, with five clear aims (Box 1). My 12-week placement consisted of seven weeks at BB Stockholm, a birthing and postnatal unit based within Danderyds Hospital (within the outskirts of the city), and four weeks at Munkbron Modravard, an antenatal and postnatal clinic within the city's old town, Gamla Stan. My last week was spent in Karolinska University, my host institution, sharing my experiences with Swedish students and writing my reports.I have learnt a great deal from my placement in Sweden, not only academically but also personally. These observations and achievements range from the true midwifery ability of helping women achieve births they are satisfied with, to using a Pinard effectively and even learning a new language. I have also discovered that one culture may not be as positive, or indeed negative, as it seems. I successfully found answers to all of the questions I had when I went to Sweden, and I am hoping to share some of the more prominent experiences here, with the aim of opening minds to international midwifery and discovering that we can learn so much from each other, both positive and negative, as holistic practitioners.

As well, little is known about the social and emotional experiences of men during their partners' pregnancies. One antenatal group consisting of six men, whose partners were in the second trimester of pregnancy, attended a series of five meetings and subsequent individual interviews. Additional data and insights were gained by the researcher and the research assistant attending other antenatal classes with men and women present. The research data consisted of transcripts of tape-recorded interviews, group discussions, observations and field notes made by the researcher and co-leader following each of the group sessions. The aim was systematically to develop a substantive grounded theory which was drawn from the experiences of the men during this transitional period in their lives. This paper discusses the process of analysis which led to the central phenomenon, the core category of the research, around which the grounded theory is built. Five theoretical constructs emerged from the data collected: (a) ambivalence in the early stages of pregnancy, (b) relationship with baby not real, (c) how should I be as a father?, (d) coping with the changing roles and lifestyle, and (e) disequilibrium in relationship with female partner. The last construct emerged as the basic social process. The nature of this relationship changed over the duration of the pregnancy. Emotional turmoil and anxiety in men contributed to the 'mismatch' in male and female expectations of the relationship. The findings of the research suggested that current antenatal classes did not meet the needs of the male partner. It appears that if men and women were informed early in the pregnancy that ambivalence, anxiety and increased tension were common experiences during pregnancy then they could get on with the business of working out how they might effectively deal with these changes.

It is concerned with their encounters with the pregnant and labouring body. Until relatively recently there has been surprisingly little work, either theoretical or empirical, on the experience of pregnant embodiment. Work in the last decade has indicated that women's experience of 'being-with-child', their experience of living in and being a pregnant body, can be an ambivalent affair, as some find disconcerting the experience of simultaneously being self and yet Other. If women, who possess the embodied and therefore privileged knowledge of pregnancy, can feel ambivalence, perhaps the case for expectant men is more so. This paper draws on interviews with men making the transition to fatherhood and analyses their experiences of and relation to the pregnant and labouring body. The theoretical analysis of their empirical accounts explores in particular the blurring, moving and broken boundaries of the pregnant and labouring body and how these changing body boundaries can challenge the taken- for-granted assumption that bodies should always be contained, strong and firm. The implications of men's encounters with this 'differently bounded' body are examined.

The men discussed their experience of pregnancy in focus groups that were run by male midwives who were also fathers. A grounded theory analysis of the men's discussions generated the categories of anxiety, ambivalence, adjustment, separation and need to know. There were two core categories, confusion, which was strongly expressed and development which was manifest in a minority of men. A descriptive narrative demonstrated that most first time fathers were confused as their relationship with their partner changed and that their roles in relation to the baby and other people were unclear. The men's sense of self was threatened and they responded negatively to the challenges they experienced and felt distanced from their partners. The findings have implications for clinical and educational services as they show that most men were alienated by the manner in which information was presented. The men also felt that services focussed on their partner's labour and the birth of the child and neglected their greatest concerns, that is their changing identity, their relationships and their future role as fathers.

AB - Objective: To determine whether fathers' interactions with their children from prebirth to 1 year of age changed the fathers' parenting attitudes as Measured by the Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory (AAPI). Design: Nonrandomized, longitudinal, descriptive study. Setting: Private obstetricians' offices, prenatal clinics, and prenatal classes in a large city in the southeastern United States. Participants: White, well-educated, stable, upper-middle class fathers attending prenatal education classes. At time 1 (prebirth), n = 293 with 228 first-time fathers and 65 experienced fathers. At time 2 (3 months), n = 62 with 46 first-time fathers and 16 experienced fathers. At time 3 (1 year), n = 42 with 30 first-time fathers and 12 experienced fathers. Main outcome measures: Parenting attitudes as measured by the AAPI. Results: Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed a significant difference in two of the four constructs measured by the AAPI. When their children were 3 months old, fathers scored significantly lower in the areas of expectations and belief in the use of corporal punishment, and their raw scores did not significantly differ in the areas of empathy and appropriate family roles. Conclusion: These fathers need education about appropriate expectations of a 3-month-old child and information regarding alternative methods of discipline.

AB - A cross-sectional study compared 100 breastfeeding and 100 non-breastfeeding new mothers in order to investigate the relationship between mothers' choice of breastfeeding and support from health professionals and lay people, taking into account potentially confounding sociodemographic influences. The importance of the male partners' opinion about breastfeeding was also examined. A favorable attitude of partners towards breastfeeding was the most important factor associated with breastfeeding (odds ratio=32.8). Prenatal class attendance and breastfeeding support from lay people increased the odds of breastfeeding 2.7 and 3.3 times, respectively. Breastfeeding orientation provided by doctors, nurses, and nutritionists was not associated with the maternal decision to breastfeed. The results point toward the need for reeevaluation of prenatal care interventions, inclusion of fathers in breastfeeding educational programs, and emphasis on community-based programs.

A study of 725 obstetric nurses and 204 obstetricians was conducted using a reliable two-factor scale to measure their knowledge and awareness of postpartum depression. Nurses were more aware than physicians of the emotional impact of postpartum depression. Nurses who demonstrated more empathy and who believed education of postpartum depression does not increase a mother's risk were more aware of the postpartum phenomenon than nurses who were less empathic and who did not hold the same belief. Younger and women physicians recognized the psychosocial antecedents to postpartum depression to a greater degree than did older and men physicians. These findings offer potential use in the training of perinatal health care professionals and in the education of pregnant women about postpartum depression.

A prospective longitudinal pre-test/post-test experimental design was employed. Participants completed a series of questionnaires evaluating their knowledge of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. The setting was a metropolitan maternity hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Seventy first-time pregnant women and their partners were recruited into the study when they enrolled in antenatal education classes. Participants were randomly allocated to the control or experimental group. The experimental group participated in an antenatal education program that was designed to support, educate and address the pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal fears of expectant parents; whereas the control group attended a traditional hospital antenatal education program. Findings included increases in pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal period knowledge for experimental group women in pre to midway assessments. There was no difference between experimental and control men across assessments. Attendance at antenatal education classes was found to be not associated with a positive experience of going home with a new baby among first-time mothers.

Results provided support for the proposed model in that parents with greater confirmation of expectations were found to have more positive relationship satisfaction, emotional affect, and parenting attitudes. Differences in men and women emerged that demonstrated that confirmation of support expectations was more important to women, while the level of support actually received was more important to men. The prenatal class intervention did not significantly affect parent outcomes. SN - 0029-6562 AD - Coll Nurs, Florida Atlantic Univ, Boca Raton FL U2 - PMID: 8152935.

The fathers answered three open-ended questions about their feelings concerning labor and childbirth, and the paternal behaviors believed to be most useful to their wives during labor and delivery. Data from fathers who attended prenatal childbirth education classes were examined separately from fathers who did not attend. The findings indicated that for all fathers, regardless of prenatal preparation, the labor experience evoked generally positive responses in addition to a significant number of negative responses, while perceptions of the birth experience were primarily characterized by positive or very positive feelings. The results also indicated that the fathers perceived that they were most helpful to their partner during labor. SN - 0090-0702 AD - School Nurs, Georgetown Univ, Washington DC U2 - PMID: 8264253.

The Pregnancy and Sexuality Questionnaire (PSQ) is concerned with sexual interest and arousal and with specific sexual behaviours of partners in a stable heterosexual relationship. Data were obtained two weeks apart from 15 couples presenting to an antenatal class and from two additional females whose partners did not participate. The validity and reliability of the PSQ are considered with particular emphasis on test-retest reliability. The results in general support the reliability of the instrument. The questionable reliability of some items is attributed to the natural sequence of change in sexual behaviours during pregnancy and to the relatively small sample size used. The PSQ appears to be sufficiently robust to be confidently applied both in sexual behaviour research and as an adjunct to clinical practice.

Through a series of open-ended interviews and structured questionnaire measures, it was determined that the typical first-time father and mother undergo significant drops in their beliefs about the importance of father-infant bonding across their first transition to parenthood. Regression analyses were employed to construct models predictive of changes in parents' father-infant bonding beliefs. Results indicate that both prenatal beliefs and circumstances of the delivery predict changes in parents' father-infant bonding beliefs.

The purpose of the present study was to examine information sources influencing persons' beliefs concerning father-infant bonding. As a follow-up to their participation in a larger survey (N = 244), 17 subjects responded to individual, in-depth interviews investigating the strength and direction of laypersons' bonding beliefs. Specifically, the investigator wanted to know what types and sources of evidence people would cite as influencing their beliefs about father-infant bonding. Although a majority of respondents expressed strong belief in both the phenomenon of bonding and the existence of scientific evidence to support it, only one subject had direct exposure to a professional journal article on the topic. Of those subjects able to cite information sources impacting upon their bonding beliefs, 'general knowledge' was most frequently cited, followed by mass media, classes, and popular readings. These findings can explain the mismatch between the lack of unequivocal empirical evidence supportive of father-infant bonding and the strength and pervasiveness of the subjects' beliefs. Implications are discussed for medical personnel and childbirth and parent educators. SN - 0090-0702 U2 - PMID: 3230960.

The sources, types and amounts of perceived social support were determined for women during their third trimester of pregnancy and at four weeks of postpartum breastfeeding. Differences in social support were reported for women who stated an intention to breastfeed and those who planned to bottle feed. The tangible, emotional and informational functions of social support were measured as aggregate values across support sources. Tangible and emotional support were not significantly different between intended breast or bottle feeders. However, informational support was higher for women who intended to breastfeed compared to those who intended to bottle feed. Mean scores were then analyzed for specific individuals who might provide support. The baby's father was a more important source of tangible support for intended breastfeeders. Intended breastfeeders also indicated they received more emotional and informational support from the baby's father and prenatal classes. Tangible, emotional and information support did not change pre-and postnatally for women who breastfed. However, certain sources did provide more support postnatally. Finally, predictors such as level of education, a belief that breastfeeding was better for health and emotional closeness, fewer children, moderate tangible and emotional support and more informational support were identified for women who intended to breastfeed.

Couples in 20 randomly selected sections of four prenatal class series received routine printed and verbal instruction and a 12-minute video demonstration of perineal massage, or only the routine printed and verbal instruction. Women reported their practice rates in daily diary records, which were mailed to the researcher weekly. Hospital records provided delivery data. Of the 83 women, 23 (28%) practiced perineal massage: 16 (35.6%) in the experimental group, 7 (18.4%) controls. Even though the rate of practice almost doubled among experimental group women, the videotape instruction method was statistically nonsignificant. Episiotomy and laceration rates were not affected by teaching method. More severe lacerations occurred among the experimental group; however, the control group had almost four times as many severe (21%) as minor (5.3%) lacerations. The experimental group had twice as many severe (28.9%) as minor (13.3%) lacerations. These results were also nonsignificant. SN - 0730-7659 U2 - PMID: 1930444.

AB - Abstract: Objective: to study women’s and men’s satisfaction with two models of antenatal education: natural childbirth preparation with psychoprophylaxis, and standard antenatal education including preparation for childbirth and parenthood but no psychoprophylaxis. Design: randomised controlled multicentre trial. Setting: 15 antenatal clinics in Sweden between January 2006 and May 2007. Participants: 1087 nulliparous women and 1064 of their partners. Interventions: both models had four two-hour sessions during pregnancy and one session post partum. The natural model was manual-based and focused on childbirth preparation, including psychoprophylaxis. In the standard care model, the group leader was free to choose her teaching approach, with an equal amount of time allocated to preparation for childbirth and for parenthood. Measures: women’s and men’s evaluation of antenatal education at three months post partum. The proportion of women and men in each model that expressed satisfaction with the education were compared using χ 2 test. Findings: more women and men in the natural groups were satisfied with the education compared with the standard care groups: women 76% versus 68% (p=0.03) and men 73% versus 65% (p=0.03). The figures were similar for satisfaction with the childbirth preparation component: 78% and 62% in women (p<0.001), and 79% and 67% in men (p<0.001) in the natural and standard care groups, respectively. Fewer participants were satisfied with the parenthood preparation component, but the proportions were higher in the standard care groups: women 37% versus 32% (p<0.001) and men 23% versus 20% (p<0.001). Conclusion and implications for practice: a structured manual-based model of antenatal education which focuses on childbirth preparation with psychoprophylaxis may better meet expectant parents’ expectations than standard antenatal education in Sweden.

Although prenatal depression and cortisol were typically measured at around 20 weeks gestation, other research suggests the stability of depression and cortisol levels across pregnancy. Women with Dysthymia as compared to Major Depression Disorder had higher cortisol levels, and their newborns had lower gestational age and birthweight. The cortisol effects in these studies were unfortunately confounded by low serotonin and low dopamine levels which in themselves could contribute to non-optimal pregnancy outcomes. The negative effects of depression and cortisol were also potentially confounded by comorbid anxiety, by demographic factors including younger age, less education and lower SES of the mothers and by the absence of a partner or a partner who was unhappy about the pregnancy or a partner who was depressed. Substance use (especially caffeine use) was still another risk factor. All of these problems including prenatal depression, elevated cortisol, prematurity and low birthweight and even postpartum depression have been reduced by prenatal massage therapy provided by the women's partners. Massage therapy combined with group interpersonal psychotherapy was also effective for reducing depression and cortisol levels. Several limitations of these studies were noted and suggestions for future research included exploring other predictor variables like progesterone/estriol ratios, immune factors and genetic determinants. Further research is needed both on the potential use of cortisol as a screening measure and the use of other therapies that might reduce prenatal depression and cortisol in the women and prematurity and low birthweight in their infants.

This change is perhaps most significant in the transition that occurs with the birth of the first child. Thus, childbirth education can be looked upon as an opportunity to strengthen family systems through anticipatory guidance and skill building that family members may use throughout the life cycle.

Design: Qualitative analysis of narratives from interviews. Setting: Interviews were conducted in 2 large cities, a small town, and several rural communities in 2 provinces in Canada. Participants: Parents (16 women and 6 men) who had lost an infant at >/= 20 weeks gestational age were recruited through a newspaper advertisement and from 2 bereavement support groups. 16 infants were stillborn, 5 lived for a few hours, and 1 lived for 7.5 days. Methods: Semistructured interviews were usually held in the participants' homes. Parents described their interactions with healthcare providers, social workers, funeral directors, insurance agents, clergy, family, and friends. Analysis was both inductive and deductive; data were coded using Rando's model of complicated mourning. Main findings: Findings revealed an informal social economy of perinatal death; a lack of overall support suggested to parents that their loss was not serious or valued. Parents reported that the social support received from their families and friends fell short of their expectations. Even the expected gestures of acknowledgment (eg, cards, flowers, and hospital visits) did not occur. Parents interpreted this inattention as an indication that the death was not an important life event. Parents experienced a lack of support from the medical community and other helping professions, beginning with the blunt and uncaring manner in which they learnt that their child had died. Little was done to assuage parents' doubts and guilt about the reasons for the death. Although most parents received a visit from a hospital social worker, it was basically to provide a contact number to call if they had problems. In seeking support and understanding, more than half the parents eventually entered counselling at their own expense. Parents who were involved with their religious community were disappointed at how little material support they received; 4 parents of stillborn children were refused baptisms. In our society, certification and paperwork represent legitimacy. Parents struggled to have their loss legitimised through legal documentation. They were sometimes discouraged from having birth and death certificates issued. Over half the parents wanted a funeral, but insurance policies did not cover the costs and the ceremonies were poorly attended. Employers were often seen as being unsupportive of parents' needs for paid time off. The overall message was 'you can't lose what you never had.' This left parents alone to deal with their loss, which contributed to complicated mourning. Conclusions: Parents of infants who died in the perinatal period experienced a lack of support from their families, the medical and helping professions, religious communities, and legal and economic institutions. This lack of support was interpreted by parents as a devaluation of their loss and contributed to complicated mourning.

AB - Structured antenatal education programs for childbirth or parenthood, or both, are commonly recommended for pregnant women and their partners by healthcare professionals in many parts of the world. Such programs are usually offered to groups but may be offered to individuals. To assess the effects of this education on knowledge acquisition, anxiety, sense of control, pain, labour and birth support, breastfeeding, infant-care abilities, and psychological and social adjustment. We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (April 2006), CINAHL (1982 to April 2006), ERIC (1984 to April 2006), EMBASE (1980 to April 2006) and PsycINFO (1988 to April 2006). We handsearched the Journal of Psychosomatic Research from 1956 to April 2006 and reviewed the reference lists of retrieved studies. Randomized controlled trials of any structured educational program provided during pregnancy by an educator to either parent that included information related to pregnancy, birth or parenthood. The educational interventions could have been provided on an individual or group basis. Educational interventions directed exclusively to either increasing breastfeeding success, knowledge of and coping skills concerning postpartum depression, improving maternal psycho-social health including anxiety, depression and self-esteem or reducing smoking were excluded. Both authors assessed trial quality and extracted data from published reports. Nine trials, involving 2284 women, were included. Thirty-seven studies were excluded. Educational interventions were the focus of eight of the studies (combined n = 1009). Details of the randomization procedure, allocation concealment, and/or participant accrual or loss for these trials were not reported. No consistent results were found. Sample sizes were very small to moderate, ranging from 10 to 318. No data were reported concerning anxiety, breastfeeding success, or general social support. Knowledge acquisition, sense of control, factors related to infant-care competencies, and some labour and birth outcomes were measured. The largest of the included studies (n = 1275) examined an educational and social support intervention to increase vaginal birth after caesarean section. This high-quality study showed similar rates of vaginal birth after caesarean section in 'verbal' and 'document' groups (relative risk 1.08, 95% confidence interval 0.97 to 1.21). The effects of general antenatal education for childbirth or parenthood, or both, remain largely unknown. Individualized prenatal education directed toward avoidance of a repeat caesarean birth does not increase the rate of vaginal birth after caesarean section.[CINAHL Note: The Cochrane Collaboration systematic reviews contain interactive software that allows various calculations in the MetaView.] SN - 1469-493X U2 - PMID: 17636711.

The type of information that parents have stated they found important is reviewed, as are general categories of information that health care providers feel are important for families to know. Family teaching is a critical component of the care nurses give because it helps to ensure that families are able to care for their infants at home.

Translating scientific knowledge to bring state-of-the-art health promotion/disease prevention innovation to underserved populations is critical for addressing these health disparities. This article examines the experiences of a community-academic partnership in designing, developing, and implementing an evidence-based, LHA-driven perinatal tobacco cessation program for low-income, predominately African American and Hispanic women. A multimethod process evaluation was conducted to analyze three essential domains of program implementation: (1) fit of the tobacco cessation program into the broader project context, (2) feasibility of program implementation, and (3) fidelity to program implementation protocols. Findings indicate that project partners have largely succeeded in integrating an evidence-based tobacco cessation program into a community-based maternal and infant health project. The successful implementation of this intervention appears to be attributable to the following two predominant factors: (1) the utilization of a scientifically validated tobacco cessation intervention model and (2) the emphasis on continuous LHA training and capacity development.

AB - The purpose of this stratified randomized trial was to determine the physical and psychological effects of continuous, one-to-one professional support on childbirth outcomes. Data were gathered during prenatal and postpartum interviews with, and from the medical redords of, 103 low-risk women. All subjects had attended one of two types of prenatal education programs, were accompanied by husbands or partners during labor, and had vaginal deliveries. Subjects in the experimental group were less likely to have medication for pain relief and less likely to have episiotomies. Three variables were found to predict perceived control during childbirth -- expectations of control, the presence of a continuous professional caregiver, and pain medication usage. The results demonstrate the importance of the traditional nursing support role during childbirth. SN - 0160-6891 U2 - PMID: 2798949.

There were 56 vaginal deliveries and 24 cesarean section deliveries. Data were collected by interview at the latter part of the second trimester and three months postpartum by examination of the mothers' and infants' medical records, and by observation of mother-infant feedings at two days and three months postpartum. The infants' birthweight, weeks of gestation, and Apgar scores at five minutes, maternal age at delivery, and maternal and child health index risk socres were not significantly different between the two groups. Mothers who had cesarean delivery had significantly higher labor index risk scores than those with vaginal birth. The mothers and fathers were not significantly different on levels of depression or marital adjustment prenatally or at three months postpartum. There were no significant differences in mother-infant behaviors during the feedings observed. That we found no differences after cesarean and vaginal delivery would support the theory that mothers respond to infants' behavioral repertoire and not to the mode of delivery.

AB - An exploratory study was conducted to compare responses of vaginally delivered and cesarean-delivered parents to an antenatal educational program of cesarean birth information and to determine the feasibility of incorporating the educational program into Lamaze childbirth preparation classes. Fifty-eight pregnant women and 57 male partners received the educational program. Mailed questionnaires were returned by 44 women and 42 men, representing 13 to the 15 cesarean deliveries and 31 of the 43 vaginal deliveries experienced by class participants. Findings indicated that the educational program met most of the parents' information needs, regardless of method of delivery. Study results suggest that childbirth educators must continue to seek ways to prepare expectant parents for unanticipated cesarean birth without causing undue distress.

This is accompanied by scant focus on men during childbirth education and during labour. To bridge this gap between practice and research a narrative literature review was conducted. For this purpose, a range of electronic databases were researched for the keywords 'fathers/men and childbirth'.Key Findings: Most men find childbirth both wonderful and distressing. They often don't live up to their expectations and are confused about their role. Focusing childbirth education and hospital practices more on men's needs may reduce their distress levels and improve both maternal and paternal satisfaction.

This is an exploratory study which is based on the hypothesis that fathers suffer diverse levels of anxiety druing their wives' pregnancies and these are increased due to including fathers in the delivery room. This study was carried out in May and June 1996 in the Maternity Education Units under the auspices of the Virgen del Rocio University Hospital on those fathers who participated in the maternity education sessions. According to the data obtained in this study, the degree of anxiety depends on various factors: age and cultural-economical level. Pregnancy is a source of anxiety in fathers which alters a couple's relationship. Therefore, we should help fathers by means of a maternity education program so that fathers become a source of assistance to their pregnant wives and not a source of worries.

AB - OBJECTIVE: To review the key literature on fathers' birth attendance, discussing: factors contributing to the increasing trend in men's birth attendance; the different roles and responsibilities men may adopt in the labour room and the implications; and, particularly, the education needs of both the expectant fathers and the professionals. LITERATURE SEARCH: The literature reported here is part of a larger longitudinal ethnographic study of men's experiences of pregnancy and birth, which to date has generated 190 relevant articles. The literature was identified using: the Midwifery Information Resource Service (MIDIRS), PsychLit, Cinahl, Medline, and the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Database. Keywords were: men, fathers, pregnancy, birth, and birth supporters. Literature was also identified using references quoted in papers and hand searching of journals. KEY CONCLUSIONS: Changing cultural and professional attitudes have encouraged fathers' birth attendance, reflected in an increasing volume of research. This research concentrates almost exclusively on labour coaching roles, neglecting exploration of any independent needs men may have. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: A greater awareness of men's experiences will inform midwives and childbirth educators to effectively provide for men's needs during pregnancy and birth.

Forste et al., (2001, p.291) report that an 'analysis of infant mortality indicated that breast-feeding accounts for the race difference in infant mortality in the United States as least as well as low birth weight does'. It is imperative then, that measures be taken to increase breast-feeding among African-Americans adolescent mothers: their reasons for not breast-feeding have been researched, but no studies have been found to describe the meaning of the breast-feeding experience to them.This study consisted of a qualitative analysis of the narratives of ten, late-adolescent African-American primigravidae. Two interviews were audio-taped for each participant in order to explicate first, the experience and process of choosing an infant feeding method by African-American adolescent mothers, and secondly, the experience of breast-feeding for these mothers.Themes which emerged from the analysis are: (a) decision-making; (b) lack of preparation for pregnancy, labor and delivery; (c) knowledge of breast-feeding and benefits; (d) perception of my breasts and their function, and (e) my breast-feeding experience. Further analysis of these themes provided findings that concur with the existing literature on breast-feeding in African-American adolescent mothers. Three findings that were not documented in the literature are: (1) The decision to breast-feed was an autonomous decision by the mother; (2) the perceptions of the African American adolescent mother as to whether the breast has a nutritive, sexual, or dual role. In this study, the participants who breast-fed also involved their breasts in sexual activity; those who bottle-fed did not acknowledge their breasts as having a sexual function; (3) the adolescent fathers were pleased with the participants choosing to breast-feed their infants.Nursing implications include providing culturally- and developmentally-sensitive childbirth classes for African-American adolescent mothers, seeking out adolescent fathers as well; nurses need to focus on client's cultural values (not their own) to provide quality care for this population; with adolescent mothers, postpartum nurses must provide an atmosphere of caring and education to foster increasing competence with breast-feeding.

This study was a descriptive, longitudinal, correlational study of the relationships among these variables.Participants were 35 English-speaking nulliparous women, ages 18 to 40, 38 weeks of completed gestation or greater, with uncomplicated pregnancies. In addition, all subjects were partnered and enrolled in childbirth education programs.At enrollment, Spielbergers Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to evaluate trait anxiety, while the Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire measured childbirth-specific anxiety. Self-efficacy for childbirth was measured with the Self-Efficacy for Childbirth Inventory. Antepartum sleep disturbance was measured over the last five nights of pregnancy using the wrist actigraph (MiniMotionlogger). Pain and fatigue in early labor at home were evaluated with the McGill Pain Questionnaire-Short Form and the Visual Analogue Scale of Fatigue Severity. A combination of medical records review and postpartum audiotaped interviews provided information about the remaining pre-hospitalization and birth variables.Data analysis demonstrated significant relationships between: anxiety and self-efficacy for childbirth in late pregnancy (r = -.59, p < 0.01), total sleep time on the night before birth (TST-1) and pain in early labor (r = -.47, p < 0.05), numbers of cognitive coping strategies used and pain scores in early labor (r = -.47, p < 0.04), and the number of hours at home in labor and admitting cervical dilation (r =.70, p < 0.001). Subject-reported components of pre-hospitalization labor included: recognition of labor onset, management of signs, symptoms, and emotions of early labor, and decision to admit to the hospital. Women employed behavioral and cognitive strategies to manage these components. Sleep parameters of women approaching childbirth revealed a pattern of increasing sleep disturbance. TST-1 diminished significantly from TST-345 (t = 5.95, p < 0.001).

The sample included first-time fathers whose wives were clients of the Lampang Regional Hospital. Fathers were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 51) or an experimental group (n = 50). The experimental group fathers received two 2-hr classes: one class before the childbirth and the other class 2 or 3 days after childbirth. The control group fathers did not receive any class until their infants were 6 to 9 weeks old. Fathers completed study questionnaires measuring their knowledge and self-confidence three times: before the intervention (for the experimental group) or before the childbirth for the control group (T 1 or pretest), and two times after intervention (for the experimental group): 3 days after childbirth (T 2), and 4 weeks after childbirth (T 3).Results indicated there were differences between the control and experimental groups on the combined variables of fathers' knowledge and on scores of fathers' self-confidence at 3 days and at 4 weeks after childbirth at an alpha level of .05. Fathers in the experimental group had higher levels of knowledge and self-confidence at both T 2 and T 3.In the experimental group, there were differences in both knowledge and self-confidence between T 1 and T 2 and between T 1 and T 3. There were no differences between T 2 and T 3 measures, suggesting that gains in knowledge and self-confidence were maintained from 3 days to 4 weeks after childbirth.As family roles continue to change in Thailand, there will be a need for ongoing research to identify strategies that nurses can use to promote positive early parent-child relationships and healthy family interaction patterns.

Three types of similarities are considered, produced from combinations of self-perceptions (a person's direct perception) and metaperceptions (a person's perception of another person): actual similarity, perceived similarity and understanding. The non-probabilistic sample of 109 couples was recruited from 12 perinatal units in the Montreal region. The couples completed four questionnaires: The Personal and Pregnancy Information Guide, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, the Support Behaviors Inventory, and the Stress Appraisal Measure. Using Boss' model (1988) The Contextual Model of Family Stress to study the first research goal, 52% of the variance regarding the women's global stress was explained by primary stress appraisal (threat, challenge, centrality), while 60% of the variance regarding the men's global stress was explained by the stressors (gestation, prenatal classes, education) and primary stress appraisal (threat, centrality). For the couples' models, 33% of their global stress at the level of actual similarity was explained by primary stress appraisal (threat, centrality), while at the level of perceived similarity, 32% of the explained variance was due to primary stress appraisal (threat, centrality) and secondary stress appraisal (control-self, control-others). In conclusion, women and men do not perceive the stressors in the same way, and that nurses and other health care professionals should consider both partners' perceptions as well as that of the couple's in their global evaluation of stress during their interventions. Nurses' greater challenge is to help a couple to be 'a couple' in the hospital setting in order to help them protect their love and intimacy. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

PB - Widener University School of Nursing AB - The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among the situational variables of perceived stress of the childbirth experience, perceived length and perceived difficulty of labor, selected personal variables, perceived nursing support, and postpartum depression in primiparous Jordanian women living in Jordan. Lazarus and Folkman's transactional theory of stress and coping (1984) provided the theoretical framework. The convenience sample of 278 women was recruited from the three largest maternal and child health care centers (MCHC) in the city of Irbid. Overall sample criteria included: primiparous married Jordanian women 18 to 35 years of age who had an uncomplicated pregnancy, a full term normal vaginal delivery in a hospital, given birth to a healthy newborn, were able to speak and understand Arabic, and reported having no past history of diagnosed psychological problems such as depression. Data collection instruments included: The Bryanton Adaptation of the Nursing Support in Labor Questionnaire (BANSILQ), the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire (W-DEQ), the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and a demographic data form. The Cronbach's alpha-reliability coefficient for internal consistency was .92 for the W-DEQ, .92 for the BANSILQ, and .87 for the EPDS. Data were analyzed by means of frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, multiple regression, and discriminant analysis. Perceived stress of childbirth was found to be the major predictor of postpartum depression and it also discriminated between high and low mean scores of Postpartum depression in this sample. Another finding was that women who gave birth to males had significantly lower mean scores of postpartum depression than those who gave birth to females. Conclusions were: the incidence of postpartum depression in Jordanian women is higher than the incidence reported in the literature, Jordanian women experience a moderately stressful childbirth event, Jordanian women who gave birth in public and military hospitals rated their labor and birth nurses less helpful than those who gave birth in private hospitals, perceived stress of childbirth is a predictor of postpartum depression, perceived stress of childbirth is a discriminating variable of postpartum depression, sex of the baby contributes to postpartum depression, postpartum depression is related to years of education and income, and Jordanian women who gave birth in private hospitals perceived their labor less stressful.Recommendations included replicate the study using a random sample from randomly selected maternal and child health centers at the national level in Jordan, replicate the study with different population such as multiparous women who gave birth by cesarean section, multiple pregnancy, and pre-term labor, replicate the study using more than one instrument to measure postpartum depression, examine other variables that may contribute to the development of postpartum depression in Jordanian women, investigate the influence of continuous nursing presence on the level of the stress of childbirth and the development of postpartum depression, investigate knowledge, attitudes, and practices of health professionals toward postpartum depression, investigate Jordanian women's and men's preference for the sex of the baby, initiate childbirth education classes, investigate antenatal depression in Jordanian women, investigate the relationship between sex of the baby and depression in new Jordanian fathers, test the social well-being and the physiological adaptational outcomes of the conceptual framework in the context of childbirth, and investigate the influence of the social well-being and the physiological variables on the development postpartum depression in Jordanian women.

AB - SYNOPSIS: In spite of the trend in the 1980s to focus parenting research and clinical attention on fathers in both the childbearing and childrearing experience, recently authors have postulated that fathers still may feel excluded from the pregnancy and childbirth experience. This qualitative study asked first-time fathers to describe their feelings about being with their wife during labor and the experience of being present when their child was born, and what three things they did that they felt were most helpful to their wives during labor and delivery. A convenience sample of 44 first-time fathers were interviewed 1 month following delivery of a healthy baby. Responses were compared between fathers who attended prenatal classes with those who had not. Findings revealed that all fathers generally felt positive about the labor experience and positive to very positive about the birth experience. Fathers identified that they felt most helpful to their wives during labor.

The intervention included content on roles, support systems, sexuality, and the newborn, and skills training in communication and conflict resolution. A nonrandomized convenience sample of expectant couples recruited from childbirth classes, clinics and community advertising (n Ë= 49) was compared to couples in hospital childbirth preparation classes (n Ë= 55) with pre and post class measures of relationship quality using the ENRICH Inventory (Olson, Fournier, & Druckman, 1989). Comparison of groups using analysis of covariance, with the pretest entered as the covariate, found no significant treatment effects, but both groups showed gains in relationship quality. Paired t-tests showed significant gains within the Treatment Group in the Children and Parenting subscale (p Ë=.002) and in the Total ENRICH average score (p Ë=.02). An analysis of change using the Reliable Change Index (Jacobson & Truax, 1991) found significant positive gains in 53.1% of Treatment Group couples and in 65.5% of Comparison Group couples. In both Treatment and Comparison Groups, higher percentages of couples experienced positive change than a previous study of marital enrichment with newlyweds had shown, suggesting that the transition to parenthood may be a time of increased sensitivity to change in relationship quality. When Treatment Group couple gains were examined within Circumplex Model (Olson, 1989) family functioning typologies, couples classified as midrange showed the most gains, involving both the Total ENRICH score and the Children and Parenting subscale. Balanced couples showed significant gains only in the Children and Parenting subscale, and extreme-nonbalanced couples showed no gains. Interpretation of the effect of treatment was confounded by significant pretest differences between groups. There were more single couples, couples with previous divorce, and parenting concerns in couples who selected the Treatment Group. Though there were no between group treatment effects, this study supports the transition to parenthood as a time of heightened awareness and potential for change in relationship quality. It further supports the gearing intervention to family typologies. The examination of couple relationship quality in future family health nursing studies of expectant parents is emphasized.

This a critical time of transition for the marital couple as they assume the parenting role and the nuclear family takes on a more permanent status. The addition of a new member involves an alteration in the previously developed interactional patterns of the family system. The theoretical foundation of the study was based on family systems and family life cycle theory. The study used a longitudinal, repeated measures design collecting data during the last trimester of pregnancy, 3-months postbirth, and 6-months postbirth. One hundred and five couples expecting their first child were recruited from childbirth education classes. Adaptability and cohesion were measured by the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales II (FACES II), and communication was assessed by Communication and Conflict Resolution Subscales of ENRICH. Ninety-three couples completed all three phases of the study. Data were analyzed for wives, husbands, and couples. For family adaptability, there were statistically significant changes (p<.001) for wives, husbands, and couples from the third trimester of pregnancy through 6-months postpartum. For family cohesion, there were significant changes at the p<.001 for wives and couples and at the p<.025 level for husbands. There were significant changes in marital communication (p<.05 or less) for wives, husbands and couples, but no changes in the measure of conflict resolution. Communication was not a factor for change for all groups in adaptability but was a significant factor for change in cohesion for wives (F=3.31;\ p<.04). In an ancillary analysis, couple discrepancy scores exhibited a significant increase over the time phase of the study. Couples with more positive communication were in greater agreement as to their perception of adaptability and cohesion. Implications for nursing include incorporating critical components from family systems theory into nursing theory and practice and increasing the marital couple's awareness for changes that may occur in their relationship during the postpartum period.

Most studies exploring disruptions in postpartum adaptation have a narrow focus on symptoms that includes depression. Little is known about the significance of other symptoms resulting in distress for mothers, particularly in relation to precipitating factors such as marital adjustment and difficult infant temperament. A broader perspective to understanding the distress associated with psychological symptoms during the postpartum needs to be addressed. The purpose of the study was to examine the extent of global symptom distress occurring during pregnancy and postpartum in relation to contributing factors of mother's and father's perception of the marriage and infant temperament. A convenience sample of primarily white, high school educated, married couples (N = 106) were recruited from Northern California childbirth classes and prenatal care settings. The final sample consisted of 95 couples. Perception of the marriage during pregnancy and postpartum was measured by Spanier's Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Infant temperament was measured by Bate's Infant Characteristic Questionnaire. Global symptom distress was measured by Derogatis' SCL-90-R Global Severity Index. Analysis using paired t-tests to compare levels of symptom distress at 34-36 weeks of pregnancy, and at 6-8 weeks postpartum showed a significant (p < .001) difference with higher levels experienced by mothers during the pregnancy assessment. A significant (p =.01) difference was also found between fathers' perceptions of the marriage at the two assessment points, but the hypothesis of a more negative marital appraisal by mother's during postpartum was not supported. In separate multiple regression analyses, both mothers' perception of the marriage and infant temperament during postpartum each contributed a significant (p < .05) percentage of explained variance in postpartum symptom distress after controlling for pregnancy symptom distress.

Empirical evidence links marital quality to quality of parent-infant interaction. Little is known, however, about how marital quality affects parental sensitivity for first-time mothers and fathers. This correlational study has three purposes: (a) to test an operational model suggesting that marital quality contributes to parental sensitivity by affecting the psychological well-being of first-time mothers and fathers, (b) to learn if adding parental age and infant gender increases the model's power to predict parental sensitivity, and (c) to learn if the operational model differs for first-time mothers and fathers. A sample of 71 married couples with healthy three-month-old infants was recruited from childbirth education classes. Data collections were done in subjects' homes. Parents completed questionnaires measuring perceived marital quality, spousal behaviors, and psychological well-being; and observers assessed parent interactions with their infants during structured teaching tasks. The operational model has more predictive power for mothers than for fathers. The maternal model accounts for 25% of the variance in parental sensitivity, with perceived spousal participation in family life and maternal age explaining the most variance. The paternal model accounts for 15% of the variance, with psychological well-being the only significant predictor. Infant gender is not a significant predictor of parental sensitivity for either parent. Revised models incorporating maternal employment status indicate that whether or not the mother is employed outside the home predicts mothers', but not fathers' parental sensitivity. Employed mothers are more sensitive to their infants than are unemployed mothers. These findings support the theory that parental psychological resources--psychological well-being, quality of the marital relationship, and employment outside the home--are major factors in determining parental sensitivity for first-time parents.

The experience of guided imagery was postulated to pattern the human energy field. The sample consists of 58 expectant couples enrolled in childbirth education classes who met selection criteria. The experimental group mothers (n = 30) listened to a twelve minute guided imagery tape once a week for four weeks while control group (n = 28) did not. Pretest and posttest parental attachment scores were obtained from all subjects. The hypotheses tested in this study were (1) expectant mothers who participate in guided imagery will have attachment scores which are significantly higher than expectant mothers who do not participate in guided imagery, (2) there will be a significant difference in the parental fetal attachment scores of expectant fathers whose spouses practiced in guided imagery versus those expectant fathers whoses spouses did not practice guided imagery, and (3) there will be a positive relationship between maternal fetal attachment and paternal fetal attachment. The data were analyzed using chi-square (chi squared), analysis of variance with repeated measures, and Pearson product moment correlations. There was a significant difference (increase) in paternal fetal attachment behavior scores of the experimental group when compared to the control group. Maternal and paternal prenatal attachment scores were moderately related. The findings suggest that Rogers' Principle of Integrality may provide an explanation of attachment behaviors experienced during guided imagery. The findings from this study add to an emerging body of knowledge which is attempting to address the relationship between guided imagery and parental fetal attachment behaviors. However, the findings were not conclusive. Findings were discussed in light of the Rogerian Conceptual framework.

Data were obtained from 20 couples through labor and birth observations and unstructured interviews within four weeks of the birth. A grounded theory methodology as described by Strauss (1987) was used for data analysis and theory development. Data analysis revealed that the expectant fathers' experience during labor and birth can be viewed as part of a triple helix that is spiraling in a unidirectional path through time. The spirals of this helix are made up of the labor path, the woman's path and the expectant father's path. Each of these paths has its own separate trajectory, but they are interwoven and affect each other. When expectant fathers are present and view labor and birth as a couple experience, they are co-laboring in one of three different roles. The three identified roles are coach, teammate and witness. These roles demand varying degrees of mental and physical engagement. Throughout labor, expectant fathers are either maintaining or redefining their labor role. The major conditions that influence men's ability to maintain their labor role are: (1) congruent role expectations, (2) degrees of mutuality and understanding within the couple's relationship that compliments the labor role, (3) woman's and nurses' labor guide activities of gatekeeping and leading that support the man's labor role and (4) the expectant father's physical status. Expectant fathers who gauge a sense of belonging from their interactions during labor are more likely to maintain their labor role while men who gauge a sense of not belonging either search for a new role or disengage from the experience. This theory can be used to sensitize health care professionals and childbirth educators to the various labor roles expectant fathers adopt and how these roles are maintained or redefined during labor and birth.

AB - This descriptive, retrospective survey (part of a larger study) employed a questionnaire to determine the behaviors of 40 expectant fathers to the stress generated by their spouses' labors and deliveries. Results indicated that the experience was stressful for all the expectant fathers, and expectant fathers only coached their spouses with their breathing exercises at labor's peak. Fathers spent more time trying to hide their feelings and worrying about their usefulness. These findings have significance for the prenatal education of couples, the education of health professionals, and the practice of labor and delivery nursing. SN - 0884-2175 U2 - PMID: 3225684.

Social support has been identified as a buffer to stressors. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of stressors of pregnancy and social support from the spouse on the perception of couple communication during pregnancy. One hundred and fifty couples enrolled in childbirth education classes in North and South Carolina volunteered to participate in the study. Each couple completed the Modified Stress Amount Checklist, the Social Provisions Scale, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and demographic information without consultation with their partner during childbirth class. Analysis of variance, multivariate analysis of variance, and factor analytic techniques were utilized to analyze the data. A statistical significance level of p <.05 was set. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that four dimensions of couple communication, four dimensions of stressors, and six dimensions of social support from the spouse were perceived by the participants. Husbands and wives perceived differences in couple communication in the areas of Affectional Expression and Dyadic Consensus, with women perceiving more affection and consensus than men. All dimensions of stressor were perceived equally by the spouses with the exception of Developmental Stressors, in which the women perceived higher stress. Differences in perception of social support from the spouse were found in the dimensions of Social Integration and Opportunity for Nurturance, in which women received more positive scores than men, and Isolation, in which men scored higher. Stressors and social support from the spouse affected the perception of couple communication, with all dimensions of stressors except Developmental Stressors exerting a negative influence on communication, and four dimensions of social support influencing communication positively. The results of this study will be of interest to scholars in family communication and various health professionals who care for expectant families.

(Volumes I & II) JF - Consumer Perceptions of Maternity Care in One Health District. (Volumes I & II) PB - UNIVERSITY OF BATH (UNITED KINGDOM) AB - Available from UMI in association with The British Library. Medical domination of the management of childbirth has resulted in maternity care in many respects indistinguishable from other acute health care provision. Major implications for the consumer of such patterns of care are identified by social science analysts as lack of control, and by consumers themselves as problems in communication with professional carers. A number of surveys of maternity services suggest that general practitioner care may be associated with greater consumer satisfaction. However, such surveys are rarely satisfactory methodologically, do not include fathers' views, nor consider the significance of social class. This study charts the views of a group of consumers (both mothers and fathers) from one Health District, in focussing upon a comparison of the maternity services provided by consultants or in centralised units, with those provided by general practitioners or in neighbourhood hospitals. The questionnaires used in the main postal survey were based upon an extensive exploratory study designed to identify those issues of concern to the consumer. Analysis of the data showed an overall preference for the services provided by general practitioners or the neighbourhood hospitals, especially in the antenatal and postnatal periods. Although there were few differences in perceptions of care at the time of birth, most consumers would prefer a birth under general practitioner care, if safety permitted. General practitioner services were associated with more personalised care which it is argued resulted in feelings of greater control for the consumer. Both social class and gender were sources of disadvantage. Working class mothers were less well informed and enjoyed poorer relations with doctors than their middle class counterparts; while, except at the time of birth, fathers were seldom recognised as parents or consumers. While attendance at antenatal classes offered a range of advantages to women consumers, in-patient antenatal care was associated with particular distress and powerlessness.

Questionnaire One was an achievement type test of information taught in the course. It also asked about subjects' attitudes towards the information and techniques presented in the course. Questionnaire Two allowed subjects to evaluate their childbirth experience. The third questionnaire, the Nurses' Questionnaire, was completed by the labor room nurse. It collected basic medical information, and assessed the subjects' usage of the psychoprophylactic technique. Seventy five couples, mothers and their coaches, completed the study. The original hypothesis, that specific factors would be more closely related to positive birth experiences than others, was not supported. Indeed, specific factors were not found to exist, suggesting that the information taught in childbirth preparation courses is of a more gestalt nature than originally postulated. No relationship was found to exist between knowledge of information taught in the classes and satisfaction with the childbirth experience. The single significant correlation was between a combination of use of techniques and difficulty of labor, both as reported by the labor room nurse, and positive evaluation of the childbirth experience. The results from this study support the belief that psychological factors are important outcomes of childbirth training. They suggest that two theories from the literature in psychology: cognitive dissonance and person-environment fit, influence subjects' evaluation of their childbirth experience. The findings also highlight the importance of the labor room personnel, in that they have a major impact upon the couple's evaluation of their childbirth experience. Finally, it indicates that further research into the psychological outcomes associated with childbirth preparation is appropriate. AV - UMI Order PUZ8816677 M1 - PH.D.
